Syllabus: Tentative schedule of the lectures.
Homework: Homework is collected once a week. Selected problems will be graded. Homework is due at the beginning of class on the day it is due. Late homework will not be accepted. It is very important that you keep up to date with the homework. The homework assignments are the minimum amount of problems for you to practice. Please keep in your mind that the best way to learn mathematics is to work out lots of problems. Please feel free to talk to me or TA whenever you have questions.
