Solutions to the Exam Problems :
Homework :
There will be 12 sets of homework. 6 before the midterm and 6 after. 10 best homework scores will be taken for the final grading.
I will assign homework in class on Monday, and it will be due in class on Wednesday of the following week. Each homework set will be based on course materials covered in the lectures given on the week it is assigned. For example, the homework assigned on September 9 (Monday) will be due on September 18 (Wednesday), and will be on materials covered on 9th, 11th and 13th.
Late submission of homework will not be accepted. If you can not submit a homework on time, don't worry about it, and try to do well in the others. It will not count in your final grade, since you have two extra homework for the whole semester.
Here is the Homework Schedule. This schedule may also change as the semester progress. The homework sets are mainly from the book, but some time I may assign problems from outside the text book also.
Homework solutions will be posted in one of the glass cases on the middle corridor of third floor of Evans Hall. Each week's homework solutions will be posted latest by Friday afternoon, and will remain in the glass case for two consecutive week. NO solution will be made available on-line or in any printable version because of copy-right issues.Grades :
Note : To receive any extra credit you have to submit your solution of the Extra Credit Problem Set by Friday, December 6 ( in class ).
No letter grades will be given on the homework, midterm, or final. Your letter grade for the course will be based on your overall score, computed according to the scheme above.
