These homework assignments will be due each Thursday, except of course for the first day of class. The previous week's homework assignment will be handed back and discussed at the beginning of class each Tuesday thereafter. Your course grade is based on two midterm examinations, a final examination, and your scores on weekly homework assignments. These assignments and exams will be the sole basis for your course grade. I reserve the right to curve any exam for difficulty.
