1. GRADING: based on 3 hour exams (45%), 8 homework assignments (20%)
and a comprehensive final (35%). Homework assignments will be  due on the 
dates indicated. FINAL:12/17, 8:00-10:00 a.m.


2. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

  a. Students are responsible for knowing what was covered in each class
meeting, and for obtaining copies of handouts when they miss a class.
       
  b. The in-class exam dates are given above; if this conflicts with 
other University events, please inform the instructor by September 5.

  c. The most important concepts and examples in each topic will be
presented in class, but for thorough understanding you are expected
to (i) read the textbook and your class notes; (ii) work on the
homework problems individually. Expect to put in about two hours
of study for each hour of class.

  d. There will be a few problem sections throughout the semester; in
general, help with specific problems (or points of theory) will be given
during office hours. Homework solutions will be provided.
