Sectioning cards will be distributed and collected on September 25, and sections will be assigned on September 27. It is especially important that everyone registered be present on both of these days. There will be a mid-term examination, on October 20, and a final examination, during the final examination period. There will also be eight problem sets. Final grades will be a function of grades on the exams and the problem sets.
Problem sets are due in class on the day specified below.
We will not accept late problem sets, as late sets make the graders task much more difficult. On the other hand, you will find that we are quite prepared to grant extensions, so long as they are requested in advance, at least one day prior to the due-date . Extensions will not be granted after that time, and abuse of our relaxed policy will not be taken lightly. Problem sets will be returned, graded, in the pigeonholes on the third floor of Emerson Hall. The pigeonholes are opposite the QR 22 bulletin board, on which on which announcements pertaining to the course, and solutions to the problem sets, will be posted.
