The weakly reading schedule for the whole semester is given on the next page. The students are required to do the assigned reading before each lecture. In addition to lectures, you will meet in sections for 3 hours each week in a computer lab, where a TA will discuss the material of the lectures and the homework, and will show you how to use the computer software to explore the topics being covered. Please direct all enrollment questions to him. Weekly homework assignments for the whole semester are given here .
Problem sets get rather heavy at times.
This is intentional as sometimes there is no substitute for repetitive drills. At the moment, the Department is unable to hire graders for the problem sets. However, the homeworks will be collected weekly by the TAs, who will grade selected problems. You have to write clearly your name, the name of your TA, the course number and the due date in the upper right corner of the front page of your homework. Late homeworks will not be accepted.
