Instead, some abstract thinking is necessary. Students are assumed to be able to reason logically and to be ready to prove, based on definite axioms, many statements which seem to be obvious from a practical point of view. The class will follow the outline below, touching on each major topic in a depth that will be determined by the pace of the class. Every homework problem carries the same weight toward the homework share of the grade. Tests can be made up.
Tests are in class open book.
Extra credit will be given for problems solved on board in the class. Preliminary grades will be distributed during the semester.
