The week of 3/15-3/20 is the Winter vacation break. 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 May 17. 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%
