Course Text: Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Erwin Kreyszig (10th edition), published by John
Wiley, 2011, available in three forms:
Wiley E-Text, ISBN: 9780470913611
Loose-leaf, ISBN: 9780470917671

edition') you need to be sure that the homework problems you do are the ones from the US 10th
edition.
Course Website: http://www.math.purdue.edu/~ebkaufma/MA527_Fall2017.html
This website contains practical information as well as a schedule of lectures and assignments with due
dates.
All grades (Homework, Midterms and Finals), copies of lecture notes, solutions to selected homework
problems, assignment dates and practice exams will be posted on the Purdue West Lafayette Campus
Blackboard website: https://mycourses.purdue.edu/.
There will be a discussion/online homework help forum at Piazza.com.
Homework:
Homework will have to be uploaded to Blackboard weekly on Wednesdays. Details on how to submit pdf
files will be given. There are assignments for each lesson. All of them are listed on the back of this
syllabus. Not all the problems will be graded, but only a random sample chosen by the instructor.
No late homework will be accepted, but the two lowest homework scores will be dropped.
Midterms:
There will be two evening Midterms. They will be given as common exams for the WNG and ONC
sections. All EPE students take the exams with their respective proctors. The dates are tba.
Final Exam:
There will be a comprehensive final exam during finals week. The final exam will be multiple choice.
No calculators may be used on Midterms or in the Final.
Grading Policy:
The final course grade will be determined according to the following rules:
Midterm I 100 points Homework 100 points
Midterm II 100 points Final Exam 150 points
Important Comments: Class attendance is expected. Reading the sections in the textbook ahead of time is
strongly recommended.
Academic Adjustments for Students with Disabilities:
Students who have been certified by the Office of the Dean of Students – Adaptive Programs as eligible for
academic adjustments should go to MATH 242 with a copy of their certification letter and request an
Information Sheet for this semester, that explains how to proceed this semester to get these adjustments
made in Mathematics courses. It is not the same as last semester. This should be done during the first
week of classes. Only students who have been certified by the ODOS-Adaptive Programs and who have
requested ODOS to send their certification letter to their instructor are eligible for academic adjustments.
Students who are currently undergoing an evaluation process to determine whether they are eligible for
academic adjustments, are encouraged to find out now what procedures they will have to follow when they
are certified, by requesting the above mentioned Information Sheet from MATH 242.
