csakany@math.bme.hu office: H 510 (or K.I.56)
Course requirements:
Presence sheet should be signed during each class. Maximum
portion of absences: 30%.
There will be 2 Midterm Tests (50 minutes, 20 points each) , pocket calculator and formula sheet (handed out by the department) can be used.. Passing limit(faculty signature): 30% (6 points) in each test.
Test 1: 6th week, March 16 (Mon) 16-17 K221
numerical series, function series, power series, Fourier series, matrices, determinants,
systems of linear equations
Test 2: 12th week, April 27 (mon) 16-17 K221
vector spaces, linear transformations, space curves, surfaces, multivariable functions,
continuity, differentiation, local extrema, double integrals
Repetition Test: May 5th (Tue), 17-19 in room K221
One of the two tests can be repeated during the 13th week of the semester. Anyone can retake one test, the last result counts. (Students can increase and also decrease their former score on the repeated tests!)
By the open book short qiuzes and take-home quizes students – only who meet the above requirements of faculty signature - may increase their total score.
Students who fail to meet the required 30 % on midterm tests can take a Faculty Signature Test during the make-up week. (Extra fee will be charged.) Topics of this Faculty Signature Test cover the topics of both midterm tests. The result on this test is either Y (yes = 30 %) or N (no signature).
Students already having the faculty signature:
- may retake the tests, in this case their midterm result equals to the sum of their test scores;
- may not retake the tests, in this case their midterm result is 30% (12 points)
Weight of midterm work in final grade : 40 % (40 points)
Weight of written Final Exam in final grade : 60%. (60 points)
In the Final Exam the passing limit is 40% (40 points of the total100 points).
Final grades:
-
39 points 1 failed
40 - 54 2 passed
55 - 69 3 satisfactory
70 - 84 4 good
85 - 100 5 excellent
