All Students should be aware that the Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the NJIT Honor Code very seriously and enforces it strictly.  This means that there must not be any forms of plagiarism, i.e., copying of homework, class projects, or lab assignments, or any form of cheating in quizzes and exams.  Under the Honor Code, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.

Prof. Russell

 

Course Description: (No biology requirement). Introduction to the mathematics of populations: Malthus' model of geometric population growth, Euler's renewal equations, age structure in human populations, predator satiation, chaos, mathematical models of inheritance, and the theory of epidemics. The ability to weave back and forth between physical concepts and mathematical notation is emphasized as well as the relationships between random and non-random models of similar phenomena.

Departmental Policies:

Attendance: Students must attend all classes. Absences from class will inhibit your ability to fully participate in class discussions and problem solving sessions and, therefore, affect your grade. Tardiness to class is very disruptive to the instructor and students and will not be tolerated.

Makeup Exam Policy: There will be no makeup exams, except in rare situations where the student has a legitimate reason for missing an exam, including illness, death in the family, accident, requirement to appear in court, etc. The student must notify the Math office and the Instructor that he/she will miss an exam. In all cases, the student must present proof for missing the exam, e.g., a doctor's note, police report, court notice, etc., clearly stating the date AND times.

Cellular phones: All cellular phones and beepers must be switched off during all class times.
