TEXT
Elementary Number Theory and Its Applications by Kenneth H. Rosen, Sixth Edition
HONOR CODE The class is expected to uphold The University of Texas at Austin Honor Code. The
core values of the University of Texas at Austin are learning, discovery, freedom, leadership, individual opportunity,
and responsibility. Each member of the University is expected to uphold
these values through integrity, honesty, trust, fairness, and respect toward
peers and community.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
You are expected to attend all lecture sessions. If you are absent, do not email or otherwise contact me to ask what material we covered during class, what the assignments are, what sections the exams will cover, or any other questions that I have answered or will answer during class. I realize that sometimes an absence is necessary. In such a situation, you should contact a classmate to get notes and information for the class you missed. It is a good idea to work together throughout the semester.
Plus/minus grades will be assigned for the final grade as follows: as follows:
A (100-92.6), A- (92.5-89.6), B+ (89.5-86.6), B (86.5-82.6), B- (82.5-79.6), C+ (79.5-76.6), C (76.5-72.6), C- (72.5-69.6),
D+ (69.5-66.6), D (66.5-62.6), D- (62.5-59.6), F (59.5-0).

ADVICE FOR SUCCESS
Actively participate in the course by attending classes, participating in class discussions, presenting problems to the class, asking and/or answering questions in
class, working the assigned homework problems, and utilizing the office hours of Dr. Mann. Do not miss any exams. Read your textbook for understanding. Work through examples on your own. Challenge yourself to work unassigned problems.
Before you email me to ask a question about the rules and procedures of this course, please read through this syllabus to see if the answer is written here. I diligently tried to include here any information that you might ask; please utilize it. If you email me asking a question and you do not get a response from me, then the answer to your question can be found within this syllabus.

STUDENT CONDUCT
All computers, cell phones and other hand-held devices must be put away out of sight and sound during class. Please come to class on time. If you will be late or need to leave early for some legitimate reason, please tell me in advance. Coming and going during class is distracting to your fellow students and the instructor, and we do not like it.
PLANNED LECTURE and EXAM SCHEDULE
Deviations from this tentative calendar may occur during the semester. The actual material covered each day can only be determined by attending the lectures.
RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS
By UT Austin policy, you must notify me of your pending absence at least fourteen days prior to the date of observance of a religious holy day. If you must miss a class, an examination, a work assignment, or a project in order to observe a religious holy day, you will be given an opportunity to complete the missed work within a reasonable time after the absence.
DEADLINES FOR DROPPING A COURSE
If you drop a class on or before September 12 (12th class day), the class will not show up on your transcript. If you drop a class after that date, the course will show up on the transcript with a "Q" grade. After November 4 it is not possible to drop a course except for extenuating (usually non-academic) circumstances.
EMERGENCY EVACUATION POLICY
Occupants of buildings on The University of Texas at Austin campus
are required to evacuate buildings when a fire alarm is activated.
Alarm activation or announcement requires exiting and assembling
outside. Familiarize yourself with all exit doors of each classroom and
building you may occupy. Remember that the nearest exit door may not
be the one you used when entering the building. Students requiring assistance in evacuation shall inform their
instructor in writing during the first week of class. In the event of an evacuation, follow the instruction of faculty or
class instructors. Do not re-enter a building unless given instructions by the
following: Austin Fire Department, The University of Texas at Austin
Police Department, or Fire Prevention Services office.
