2. Grading Information

Class members are required to maintain a class workbook. The workbook should consist of class notes that have been rendered coherent and legible. Generally this will require rewriting. Every Thurssay a few problems will be assigned. Work on these problems should be included in your workbook. The workbooks will be collected before spring break and at the end of the semester.

3. References

There is no course text. It is recommended that you use the money saved to acquire mathematical software if you do not already have such a package.

References for specific topics will be listed where appropriate.
