 '''7. Calculators.''' You won't need them but they are allowed in class. Your syllabus lists computer ''restrictions'' not ''requirements''. Any equipment more complex than what's indicated is not allowed. This applies to quizzes, tests, and the homework assignments. You can certainly use them to test your answers. Whatever you submit, it should be able to stand on its own -- without references to a calculator. For example, the graph of a function with no explanation where it came from is inadequate. There will be no instruction on how to use them.
-'''8. Grades.''' The grade for the class will be based entirely on your performance. Individual problems will be graded with a score between 0 and 10. These scores correspond to the latter grades as follows:

 In that case, the missed score is assigned based on your other scores: next homework/quiz, next test, or the final exam. If the final is missed, the grade for the class will not be based on the rest of the grades but entirely on my assessment of the student's achieved level of mastery. One weekly assignment (quiz or homework) may be dropped.

 This illustrates how the antipodal map (aka the central symmetry) reverses orientation in the odd dimensions and preserves it in the even dimensions. That's why to be symmetric the original would have to have two right hands!
