Textbook
H.
W. Wyld: Mathematical methods for physics.
Lectures: The lectures cover the material in the textbook from a different perspective. Students are expected to attend and make an effort to actively participate.
Homework: 2-3 homework problems will be assigned every week. Late homework will not be accepted. Returned or missed homework may be resubmitted for half the credit. Problems should be solved individually (no teamwork).
Tests:
Students with disabilities: All reasonable measures will be taken to accommodate any special needs. Inform the instructor in advance of any such need during lecture, discussion, laboratory or tests. Affected students are responsible for requesting special accommodation in time.
Grading:
The grades are determined by the weighted
average of the test, all counted equal.
| Grading scale: A>90%>B>80%>C>70%>D>60%>F |
Important note: in case a student
must miss a class, s/he must inform (call) the instructor as early
