HOMEWORK: Homework exercises will be announced in class, and they will be collected once each week. Your instructor will be grading the homework, and because he wishes to return it to you promptly, homework that is more than one day late may not be accepted. Homework papers that are one day late will be assessed a 20% late penalty. Oral presentations may be included in your homework.  To encourage careful reading of the textbook, the first student to report an error in the textbook via email will be given 1 point of extra credit in the homework category. To see the current list of errors go to textbook errors.

Your homework exercises will be challenging, and you may need extra help from your instructor. Don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it!

MIDTERM TEST: This open book test will cover the reading, lectures, problems presented in class, and homework exercises from the first half of the quarter.

FINAL EXAMINATION: This open book test will cover the second half of the course, and it will be given on Monday, June 9, at 10 AM.
