The course will emphasize such understanding rather than pure memorization of mathematical formulae. The course has three 50-minute classes and one afternoon laboratory meeting each week so everyone should enroll in a laboratory section. There is a separate handout on laboratory procedures and requirements. Problem sets will usually be due at the start of class either on Friday or on Monday. I will post solutions on the bulletin board and put copies on 2-hour reserve in Burling soon after the due date.
All exams are closed-book exams.
Each week, I will give a more detailed assignment listing specific chapter sections.
