Notice for Students

This course is an optional subject which does not count towards the number of credits required for graduation in any program at Nagoya University. This course will be more or less demanding depending on the initial level in mathematics. In case of difficulties, it is recommended to study in e-learning lecture introduced in the first lesson.

Textbook

Handouts are delivered.

Reference Book

E-learning in the Nagoya University website (This is introduced in the first lecture).

Grading

There will be two main exams: midterm (40%) and final (40%). In addition, there will be homework each week (20%). The final grade will be determined by the total amount of points obtained according to the following scale: S: 90-100, A: 80-89, B: 70-79, C: 60-69, F: 0-59. In case a student wants to drop off, a course withdrawal request should be submitted before the midterm exam.
