The exact relative weight of homework and exams will be specified later, but a substantial weight will be given to homework. Theoretical material from the textbook will be assigned for home reading. Plenty of problems will be given. Classroom time will be devoted to answering questions, discussing solutions of problems, and exams. Discussion by e-mail is also encouraged.
Active participation is required.
This means that you should attempt to understand a topic or to solve a problem yourself, without waiting for explanations. If, after an attempt, you still do not understand something, try to formulate what is the obstacle and ask appropriate questions. The questions may be submitted to me by e-mail. I may ask students to present solutions of problems in class. Attendance of classes is not required, unless an in-class exam is announced.
