Homework

There will be weekly homework assignments. Please check weekly for the updates. Many problems will be assigned every week. The one with (*) have to be turned in by the next week's Friday. The rest problems are recommended (which means that you should think about them and know how to solve them too). Three problems (out of all the turned-in problems) will be graded each week. The exams will be based on lectures and homework problems. The course grader is McGown, Kevin. He has office hours Mon., Wed. 9:30am - 10:30am (Fall Thursday 9:00-11:00am) or any time you can catch him. The problem session will meet in APM 5402 12:10-1:00 pm Wed(Fall, 7421 at 12:00-1:00pm Wed). There will also a problem presentation session at 12:10-1:00pm on Mon.
