You will need a calculator on Thursdays. A very
basic model is sufficient. It should be able to do addition/subtraction,
multiplication/division, and support scientific notation. |
|
Academic Honesty |
Students
are responsible for upholding the rules of academic honesty as spelled out in
the Rensselaer Handbook. This
includes but is not limited to falsifying attendance at lectures, which is an
infraction for both parties involved. A single instance of cheating will
result in a failing grade for the course. |
