Homework & Quizzes:

Homework assignments will be announced in class. Late homeworks will not normally be accepted, but students may be excused from turning in an assignment if there is a valid reason. If you joined the class late, or have extended unavoidable absences we can make some adjustment. Homeworks must be turned in at the beginning of class on the day they are due.

Homeworks must be easy to read; please do not use red pen; staple the pages together. Put your name and problem set number on your homework. Keep all returned tests and homeworks.

In-class tests and final exam:

The final exam will consist of a close-book written part with problems to be worked out and an oral examination. During the written exam students will be allowed to use a calculator and may be provided with an equation sheet by the instructor. Otherwise no use of books or notes will be allowed during the tests.

Absences:

Attendance policy for the course is not required, but students are strongly encouraged to come to class.

Note

If a change in the syllabus becomes necessary during the semester, it will be discussed in class and then posted on this website.
Do not be afraid of the instructor! He is there to help you, not to make your life miserable.
