2. Instructor Information
3. Course Objectives
This course is designed to introduce engineering students and those in related fields to key areas of applied mathematics that are essential for solving real-world problems. Topics include fundamental concepts of calculus, ordinary differential equations (ODEs), linear algebra, complex analysis, vector calculus and partial differential equations (PDEs)—all presented within the context of engineering applications

5. Grading
Grading Policies
Partial credit may be given on both homework and examinations as long as a coherent thought process is written in your solution. Writing down the answer without any explanation will receive zero credit.
Relative weights:
• 6 Problem sets (30%)
• 1 Midterm exam (30%)
• 1 Final exam (40%)
Letter grades: 𝐴𝐴 ≥ 97 > 𝐴𝐴 ≥ 93 > 𝐴𝐴 ≥ 90 > 𝐵𝐵
Adjustment of this scale may occur in order to ensure a reasonable distribution of letter grades

9. Course Operation
Midterm & Final Exams
Midterm and final exams will be given that include comprehensive materials. These exams are meant to assess your understanding of the basic, fundamental concepts presented in class and illustrated in the homework problems and lecture examples. All exams will be closed-book, but one sheet (one side for the midterm and two sides for the final) of your own, hand-written notes and non-graphing scientific calculator will be allowed. Relevant tables, charts and equations will be provided as needed. Make-up examinations will only be given with good reason (per POSTECH rules) and prior arrangement with the instructor.
10. How to Teach & Remark
Academic Integrity
Infractions will not be tolerated. Copying another person's work is considered academic dishonesty. All cases of academic dishonesty will be reported.
