MATH 174-Spring 2022


Instructor: Alex Iosevich
Office: Hylan 909
email: iosevich@math.rochester.edu
Office Hours: 1-2 p.m. MW and by appointment
Textbook: Calculus on manifolds, by Spivak
Grading: Homework (%20), In-class midterm (%25), Take-home project (%20), and Final (%35).

Structure of the class:


This is going to be a highly interactive class. I expect frequent in-class discussions designed to make sure that the material is absorbed in real time. Notes will be prepared and distributed ahead of time.

Structure of the exams and the final:

The exams are designed to test both the knowledge of the proofs and the ability to apply the theoretical results in concrete instances.

Expectations:

The students will be expected to come to each class prepared. What this means is that on any given day, I expect the students to know and understand the proofs and examples that were covered in class up to that point. In addition, the students will be expected to read ahead and anticipate the material that is going to be covered.
