*You are responsible for all material covered in lecture whether or not they appear in the textbook.

Grading: 1) Four one-hour exams (22.5% each).

2) Homework (10%).

There will be ~10 problem sets. No late homework will be accepted. One lowest HW grade will be dropped.

NOTE: For each HW, you may work in groups of 2 or you may choose to work independently. No more than 2 people can be in a group – any more than 2 will receive an automatic zero for that assignment. If you work in a group of 2, only 1 HW needs to be turned in with both students’ names on the front page. Everyone is responsible for all materials covered.
