I am well aware that my exams tend to be difficult and long. A premium is then placed on speed and accuracy, traits that are worth rewarding. Exams will be closed book. The only item you may have on your table is your calculator. Each exam will be worth 100 points.
Partial credit is available.
It is my belief that the only way to master material like that in this course is through working a large number of problems. The essential skill is not to follow someone else's work, but to be able to solve problems on your own. To that end, I will be assigning a large number of homework problems. However, assigning homework creates numerous problems. Working all of them may take more time than you have.
