Textbook
There is no required text for this course. However, we recommend
Vector Calculus, 3rd or

Homework
Homework for Math 60 and Math 65 is due every day at 8:45am in
the FOYER outside the classroom.
Please consult the HMC mathematics homework format
guidelines for
helpful tips on homework submission and formatting.
Quizzes
Each Math 60 class (aside from the first and last) will begin with a
15 minute quiz. During the last class, there will be a cumulative
final exam.
Exams
In addition to the daily quizes, there will be one cumulative final exam. This will take place
2-4pm, Friday, June 1, 2018.
Grading
Grades will be determined as follows.
A+B+C+D=100
where A = HW = 30, B = Quizzes = 30, C = Exam = 30 and D = Max
(A,B,C) = 10.
(The lowest HW score will be dropped.)
Tutors
Tutors will be available every day 7-9 pm in Platt.
Attendance and Reading
Class attendance is mandatory as is reading of pertinent textbook sections. They are meant to supplement each other and are needed for proper completion of homework and exams.
LaTeX
Students interested in using
LaTeX for
homework typesetting may find the

Students with disabilities
It is the policy of The Claremont Colleges to accommodate students with temporary or permanent disabilities. Any student with a documented disability who requires reasonable accommodations should contact Deborah Kahn, Coordinator for Student Disability Resources at (909) 607-3148 or dkahn@hmc.edu, as soon as possible. Students from the other Claremont Colleges should contact their home college's disability officer. Counterparts at the other campuses are as follows: CMC: Julia Easley (julia.easley@cmc.edu) CGU: Chris Bass (chris.bass@cgu.edu) HMC: Deborah Kahn (dkahn@hmc.edu) Pitzer: Gabriella Tempestoso (gabriella_tempestoso@pitzer.edu) Pomona: Jan Collins-Eaglin (jan.collins-eaglin@pomona.edu) Scripps: Leslie Schnyder (lschnyde@scrippscollege.edu)
Honor Code
Though cooperation on homework assignments is encouraged,
students are expected to write up their own solutions individually. That is,
no copying. Comprehension is the goal, so even with cooperation, you should
understand solutions well enough to write them up yourself. It is appropriate
to acknowledge the assistance of others; if you work with others on a homework
question, please write their names in the margin. Tests are to be done individually. You are encouraged to discuss your paper with other students. The
HMC Honor Code applies in all matters of conduct concerning this course.
