General Information
Tentative Plan of Lectures
Lab
Each student will be enrolled in one of two Thursday lab sections. Labs will provide opportunities for reviews, help on homework, team work, presentations,
and projects. Cumulative scores from the lab will count toward your final grade.
Homework
Problems will be assigned weekly, and listed below. A random subset of problems from each assignment will be graded. Late homework cannot be accepted. Students may consult
one another and discuss homework problems, however the assignments you turn in must represent your own work.
Time and effort spent on homework is always reflected in exam scores.
Reading and lectures
Prior to class meetings, students are expected to read the book, and to be prepared to discuss, course material in the text.
