To guide my choice of a final grade on the course so that you and others can evaluate your expertise of the material, I or the grader with assign points to the assignments that you hand in. The homework assignment will be posted on the web site one week before the due date. The homework is designed to give you practice using the concepts introduced in class and in the textbook.

Because discussing new concepts with other people are often helpful in learning, you are encouraged to work in groups on the homework.
