Homework Assignments
- Homework assignments will be assigned and collected each week. The tentative due date is on Tuesday in class.
- The homework is not pledged. You are encouraged to discuss the problems. However, each student is responsible for the final preparation of his/her own homework papers.
- Last update: 1/29, Homework 2 is available.
Download Homework Assignments.
Exams
- There will be two 75-minute in-class midterm exams. The tentative dates are February 13th and March 26th. There will be a 150-minute cumulative final exam.
- Exams are under the honor code. Be sure and hand in all the work you do on each problem. Good luck!
