Solutions will be discussed in the lecture (time permiting) after

Late homework will be accepted up to two weeks after
the class in which it is due or up to the last day of classes whichever

be 33% for each week late. Penalty for one week late takes effect
immediately following class in which it is due. After two weeks NO

Pop Quizes:
I cannot stress strongly enough the importance of keeping up with
the reading. There will be periodic pop quizes on the current material to act as an
incentive to keep up with the reading assignments.

There will be a midterm exam and a final exam. They will count
30% each of your final grade. No ``cheat sheets''
are allowed for any of the examinations.
