Homework: Homework will be assigned weekly, and will be due in class on the Tuesday the week after it was assigned. Assignments will be posted on the course website. Each assignment will consist of some book problems and some "additional problems". A (perhaps non-proper) subset of the problems will be graded based on correctness and on the clarity and quality of presentation. There is a difference between a "solution" and an "answer". The former is what shall be graded. Some homework assignments will have a coding component. These must be submitted typed. Your lowest 2 homework scores will be dropped.
Exams: There will be two exams, one on 10-01 and one on 11-12. The final exam is on 12-16, 13:30 – 16:00.
