Lectures are optional. Attendance will not be taken. Students are, however, responsible for any material or information presented in lectures which is not available from other sources.
| Homework Assignments | 20% |
| 3 Exams | 20% each |
| 1 Final Exam | 20% |
The final exams are scheduled so that conflicts are
avoided. This does not mean that students cannot
have multiple exams on the same day.
No books, notes, or calculators are allowed on the exams. Nothing
more than a pen or pencil and some paper.
The course will roughly cover Chapters 1 to 5, but we might skip some parts of Chapter 5.
The problems on the exams will not necessarily be taken from the textbook, but you will have encountered problems similar to those on the tests before the test.
In your homework you can quote every exercise or theorem from the textbook that comes before the problem you are working on.
Every assignment is to be completed by you. You may work with others from the class on the material and you may consult other resources, but what you hand in for a grade must be your own work.
