Many of you may find this challenging, so be prepared to seek out help at the earliest opportunity. The discussion sections will be led by a TA, and are a mandatory, integral part of the course. If you have trouble with the lecture material or homework, please come in for help as early as possible. This book is required . One homework assignment will be given each week.
Assignments are to be handed in to the designated boxes at the rear of the lecture hall.
No late problem sets can be accepted. You are encouraged to work with your friends on the homework, but you must hand in your assignment in your own words and your own writing . Assignments which show clear evidence of copying from each other will be returned with zero credit. Homework solutions will be posted in display cases in Broida Hall. The homework will sometimes involve computer exercises .
