Course outline: We will follow the schedule found here with the addition of two midterms, see below. This fills up the 28 hours available.

Homework: Homework will be assigned on Fridays and should be handed in during the first 10 minutes of lecture on the following Friday. Late homework will not be accepted but the lowest two homework grades will be dropped. You will find that working through all of the homework problems and handing them in on time is a very important part of keeping up with the course. Students are encouraged to work together on the homeworks, but each student must submit their own work.

  1. Homework: 15%
  2. The first midterm: 20%
  3. The second midterm: 20%
