Problem Sets, Quizzes and Examinations

There will be approximately three hour long exams during the course of the semester and a comprehensive final exam at the end of the semester. The exams will be announced at least two classes beforehand, and will probably be announced even before that on the class mailing list. There may also be some graded problem sets during the course of the semester. Each problem set will be worth 50 points. Specific policies regarding the completion of problem sets are available elsewhere on this web site.

It is important to note that each set will have a due date. It is permissible to submit completed sets prior to the due date; no sets will be accepted after the due date.

Problem Set 1 — Solutions

Despite what is stated above, this particular problem set will count for 100 points and will be treated in the same way as a regular exam when calculating averages.
