Grading
Grades in the course will be based on:
- homework sets (assigned roughly bi-weekly during the semester).
- class participation (extra points for helping me to make this class a lively one)
- projects (written project due at the end of the semester).
Homework Ground rules for the homework sets are as follows. You may use any reference book from the library. You are encouraged to discuss the homework problems with other students in the class, and even to work on the problems together, until you get to the point that you understand how to solve the problem. Each student is required to write up and to submit his/her own homework set. You are not permitted to copy another student's homework, even if you worked on the problems together.
Projects: A list of possible projects is here. Projects will consist of a 15 minute presentation to the class during the last week of the semester or the final exam period and a written report. Project can involve computation, but need not.
