MATH 448 COURSE SYLLABUS- FALL 2011

NJIT ACADEMIC INTEGRITY CODE: All Students should be aware that the Department of Mathematical Sciences takes
the University Code on Academic Integrity at NJIT 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 University Code on Academic Integrity, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.

Math 448: Stochastic Simulation

Number of Credits: 3 Course Description: An introduction in the use of computer simulation to study stochastic models. Topics include the generation of samples of continuous and discrete random variables and processes with applications to stochastic models, statistical analysis of the results, and variance reduction techniques. Effective From: Spring 2009.

Prerequisites: Math 333 or Math 244 and Math 340 with a grade of C or better.

Drop Date: Please note that the University Drop Date November 3, 2011 deadline will be strictly enforced. Homework Policy: All assignments must be turned in on time. Late assignments are NOT accepted. Even though not every problem in an assignment may be graded, you are expected to attempt all of them. As a standing assignment, you should read the relevant sections of the textbook prior to lecture. Attendance: Attendance at all classes will be recorded and is mandatory. Please make sure you read and fully understand the
Departments Attendance Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced.

Examinations: There will be two midterm examinations and a final examination. The final examination date, time, and location will
be determined by the university during the final exam week. Exams are held on the following days: Exam 1: Exam 2: Final Exam Week: October 13, 2011 November 14, 2011 December 14-20, 2011

Makeup Exam Policy: There will be NO MAKE-UP EXAMS during the semester. In the event the Final Exam is not taken, under
rare circumstances where the student has a legitimate reason for missing the final exam, a makeup exam will be administered by the math department. In any case the student must notify the Math Department Office and the Instructor that the exam will be missed and present written verifiable proof of the reason for missing the exam, e.g., a doctors note, police report, court notice, etc., clearly stating the date AND time of the mitigating problem.

Further Assistance: For further questions, students should contact their Instructor. All Instructors have regular office hours during the week. These office hours are listed at the link above by clicking on the Instructors name. Teaching Assistants are also available in the math learning center. Cellular Phones: All cellular phones and beepers must be switched off during all class times.
