\noindent{\em Office Hours}: Open Door and By Appointment: I am in my office almost all of every weekday, and encourage you to 
visit any time. If you just come to my office you will probably find me, but if you set up a time with me before hand, then  you can be sure that I will be there.  \\

\noindent{\em Examinations, homework, and grades:\ }
 There will be three one-hour departmental examinations worth 100 points each and a two-hour final
examination worth 150 points.     The final exam will cover all
the material of the course with emphasis on the material covered after the third exam.         Homework will be worth 50 points.  
   Thus the total number of possible points for the semester is  500. The numerical break points for letter grades (A, A-, B+,\ldots) will be 
based only on the
test scores and the homework.

 

 A student who misses an examination will receive no points for
that exam unless he or she has written permission from their dean.    (Travel plans are not considered to be a sufficient excuse for taking an exam 
on a different date.)
 
     


  Both examinations and the homework are conducted under the honor code. People may work  together on the homework assignments, but the final written solutions should be your own.
Tests of course should be entirely your own work.
  
    

  Homework will be assigned regularly, and is an integral part of the
course.    
I will give a weekly assigment due on Wednesdays.
