Course requirements

This is an advanced course. What does it mean?

• Small class - everybody gets a chance to participate. Students are expected to contribute to the course and not restrict their participant to passive attendance.
• No assistant - I will be your teaching assistant.
• Homework questions are challenging - they do not repeat material taught in class but require introduction of new ideas. You are expected to set aside a few hours each week for thinking about the homework.
• Homework will be solved on the board by the students. You are requested to hand solved homework - just to make sure you have a strict deadline for trying to deal with the homework.

roughly $25\%$ Homework

Students must hand in solutions for 80% of the homework sets (partial solutions included). Handed homework will not be graded, instead, exercises will solved by the students during class recitations. Each student is expected to solve 2-3 questions on board during the semester.

roughly $75\%$ Final Exam

A regular exam will be given.
