In general, we will cover the sections in order, though I will skip some sections and rearrange the material in chapter 11. I may occasionally assign homework problems from the first 6 chapters as a review. Though the first homework may be turned in up to a week late, no other late homework will be accepted without an excuse on the level of a serious medical condition, family emergency, religious holiday, or an unexpectedly inefficient postal service. Please staple or use paperclips to keep the pages of your homework together, and write your name or initials on all sheets. Folding the corners does not work in a stack of papers, and trying to fit the entire homework on one piece of paper is a bad idea.
Homeworks are due at the start of class.
The current plan is that solution sets can be picked up on the Thursdays after the day the homework is due, in class or outside my office. Graded homeworks can be picked up in class one week after they are due. Although most of the homeworks will be graded by the TA, if you have questions or comments about the grading please talk to me. I will post assignments here and in class. In case I accidentally put the wrong assignment in one place or the other, you will not be penalized.
