Homework: Weekly homework problems will be suggested for your practice. However, no homework will be collected for grading. I strongly encourage you to work out all the suggested homework problems, as this is the best way to master the material.
MATLAB: Optional homework problems to be solved with MATLAB will be assigned by the TAs in sections. You will receive extra credits if you solve and return these problems.

MATLAB is accessible from many computers on campus. For information on software, tutoring and locations see the Math. Dept. resources page here. In particular, check Tutoring Resources and Computer Resources. Go here to download the entire set of m-files into the directory that you use as your home directory for your MATLAB projects.

Tests and Quizzes: There will be four 50-minute tests. The final examination is cumulative, including all material of the course. There will be 8 unannounced quizzes (normally one every two weeks), usually on material since the previous hour test or quiz or on new material. In addition, the quizzes will be based on the suggested homework problems. The quizzes will be given during the discussions by the TAs.
Practice Exams:

THERE ARE NO MAKEUPS FOR TESTS OR QUIZZES.

Grading:   The final grade will be based on 600 points: four hour exams at 100 points each (the lowest exam score will be dropped), quizzes 100 points (the three lowest quiz scores will be dropped) , and final exam 200 points. Tentatively letter grade will be assigned according to the following scheme: A: 90% - 100%; B: 80% - 89%; etc.
