                          Homework  1

      Although most homework exercises will not be graded, if you want
      to pass the course, you know you have to do them.  Besides
      they're fun.  The exams will be based on the exercises in the
      book.  You should do the exercises for each section before or
      immediately after it is covered in lecture and be ready to
      discuss them in the TA sections immediately following the
      lecture.

      In each section do at least every other odd problem, e.g.
      1,5,9,..., or 1 mod 4.  If you have trouble doing these problems,
      you should do all the odd problems. The answers for odd problems
      are in the back of the book. You should do some even problems
      because like the exam problems the answers will not be given to
      you.  There is a student solution manual available from the
      publisher, although I have not seen it.

      Note that 90% of your grade will be determined by the exams.  The
      TA section grade will depend on your TA.  The TA may decide to
      grade some homework exercises or to give a short 5-10 minute quiz
      based on the homework exercises.  I am asking each TA to grade a
      minimum of one problem for each student for each section
      meeting.  The TA section grade may also be partly based on class
      participation and/or attendance.  Whatever method is used ask
      your TA to give you their grading method in writing.

     
      Makeup Exams:  If you are too ill to take a midterm, contact your
      TA to get her permission to take a makeup exam.  This will be a
      completely different exam to be made up and given by your TA at a
      time and place mutually agreed upon.  I never give early exams or
      the same exam at a different time.
