Course
Description: This course
will be an introduction to elementary knot theory. The
majority of your grade will depend upon your attendance,
participation, and your completion of any homework problem
that I may assign. There will be
NO exams or
quizzes. As a result, your attendance is paramount! You
will be allowed
TWO “free”
absences--no excuse necessary. However, every absence
thereafter will negatively affect your grade in the
following sense. On your third absence, your grade drops to
an B, fourth absence to a C, and so on (remember, we only
meet ten times).
This course is meant to be fun, interesting, and a taste of
mathematics that you’ve never seen before! I hope that you
enjoy it!
