Homework.   There will be weekly homework sets, due Fridays 10:07am. Homework due dates will be strict; however, I will drop the two lowest homework scores.

You may work with classmates on the homework. However, you must write up your answers individually, and credit your collaborators.

Although I encourage you not to refer to other texts in the solving of homework problems, you may do so as long as you list all references used.

The more problems you work through the better!!! I encourage you to do more than just the problems assigned as homework.                         

Exams .   There will be two exams: an in-class midterm on Friday March 21  and a final on a date TBA.

Grading System .   Your grade will be based on the following.

Homework	30%
Midterm Exam	30%
Final Exam	40%

            Students taking the course with the "Credit/No Credit" ("Pass/Fail") grading option must earn a grade of "D" or better to receive a "pass".

            Any students taking the course on an "audit" basis should talk with the instructor to determine what criteria will be used to award a grade of "successful audit."
