Tentative list of topics to be covered.
The course grades will be based on quizzes and exams according to the following formula:(Each of the five quizzes will count for 5% and each of the two midterm exams for 20% of the final grade.)
- Quizzes (5) -- 25%
- Midterm exams (2) -- 40%
- Final exam -- 35%
Homework exercises will be posted regularly throughout the semester. Solutions to selected exercises will be discussed in recitations and/or made available on the course website.The homework assignments do not directly contribute to the course grade but will form the basis for the quizzes, which do contribute to the final grades. Quizzes will be held during recitations. They are tentatively scheduled for weeks 4, 6, 8, 10, and 14 of the semester.
