Grading: Midterm 35%

Additional problems: Since the need to work additional examples vary by student, I will
do some problems during lectures but will stay after class end for anyone who wishes to
work more examples. This is optional – it is a standing invitation but not a required part of
class.

Homework: Two problem sets will be assigned, each worth 7.5% of your grade. These
will be distributed at the end of class and due two weeks later.

Final: The final will be semi-cumulative, with selected chapters covered previously in
class also tested on the final. You must take the final exam to receive a grade in the
course. The exams will be multiple choice. Dates of the exam are included in the course
syllabus.
