Format:

The lectures will closely follow the material in the textbook, though
some extra material as well as examples/applications may be presented. Every student is expected to consult the theory in the book, and to go through the suggested problems in the end of the sections (even if not assigned).

Grading:
|
Your final raw (percentage) score will be decided upon the quizes, homeworks, two midterms exams, and the final exam. The break-up of the final grade is as follows:
Quizes (Q)- 5%
Homework (HW)- 10%
Exam 1 (E1)- 25%
Exam 2 (E2)- 25%
Final (F)- 35%
Thus, your final percantage grade can be computed by the formula (0.05Q+0.1HW+0.25E1+0.25E2+0.35F).
You are encouraged to discuss your progress in the course with the instructor at any time during the quarter.
