Please read the material in the textbook before coming to class. Suggested problems will
be discussed during the recitation periods. Three exams will be given during the semester,
on the dates indicated. In addition, there will be a cumulative Final Exam, tentatively
scheduled for December 19. Sample exams will be handed out and discussed prior to the
exams. It is very important that you not fall behind in this course! Studying with your
classmates, either in study groups or informally, is very helpful. I will be glad to
assist you in setting up study groups. Your grade for the course will be determined as
follows:
| Exams (15% each): | 45% |
| Final Exam : | 30% |
| Laboratory : | 25% |
