Grading
  • There will be two evening prelims (October 16 and November 13) and a final exam (December 19). All exams are closed-book.
  • There will be weekly homework assignments. Normally, homework assignments are issued in three consecutive installments (on Wednesday, Friday, and Monday) and are due the next Friday:

    (a

    [i.e., the homework is usually due four days after you get the last installment.]
  • Students are free to discuss the homework assignments but the write-up must be independent work.
  • Homeworks will be collected in class on Fridays before lecture; no extensions will be granted. However, for each student, the two worst homeworks will be disregarded.
  • The course grade will be determined by counting the two prelims (roughly) 40%, final exam 30%, and homeworks 30%.
  • Grade change requests must be submitted in writing with the original work and must be be submitted within one week of the date on which the assignment was handed back.
