• This material will be reviewed at a faster pace in the first few lectures; this material is in Chapters 1 and 2, Sections 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 in Carlson's book. Recitation sessions by the TA will be organized if necessary.

• Day/Time: MW 11:00am-12:15pm
• Location: 633 Seeley W. Mudd Building

Homework:

• 1 assignment every class; a typical homework consists of about 5 problems from the book. No late homework will be accepted. The solutions and the graded homework will be handed out by the TA.

Grading:

• Homework: for the calculation of the homework average, the worst 2 grades will be dropped.
• Midterms (written): two midterm tests will be scheduled during standard time in the standard classroom; one at 1/3 of the semester & one at 2/3 of the semester (see calendar). The midterm tests are based on specific parts of the material. Details will be announced in class. The midterm average will be calculated as follows: 75% (highest midterm grade) + 25% (lowest midterm grade).
• Final (written): the final test is based on the whole material. Further information about the type of problems will be discussed in class.
• Final Grade: The homework average, midterm average, and final test grade count respectively 10%, 40% and 50% towards the final grade.
