Procedures:

1. There is no textbook for this course -- none has been written yet. Recommended reading material will be posted during the course.
2. The best way to learn the material is by solving problems. You are encouraged to work in pairs.
3. Make sure to keep copies of your homework solutions, because I will not be handing them back out. Your solutions should be done in latex. If your solution is unclear or if your solution is hard to understand, you will have points deducted even if your solution is correct. One of the best way to make your solutions clear is to include pictures and examples.
4. I reserve the right to modify the formula used to calculate grades uniformly across the class by a small amount. I reserve the right to de-emphasize the homework grades if there is evidence of students who copy instead of doing the homework themselves.
5. Homework assignments will be due at the beginning of class and I will hand out the solutions immediately. Late assignments will not be accepted because the solutions will be available.
6. It is extremely important that you start your project and homework assignments early. The work may be very hard, and if you fall behind you may find it too difficult to catch up.
