\textsc{Examinations and Grading:} There will be one one-hour exam and
a final; there will also be weekly homework assignments.  The one-hour
exam is worth 100 points, the final is worth 150 points, and the
homework will count for 150 points, for a total of 400 points.

\textsc{Hour exam:} Wednesday, March 4.

\textsc{Final exam:} 8:00--10:00 am, Friday, May 8.

\textsc{Homework:} Homework will be assigned weekly, more or less.
Feel free to work with other people on your homework, but you must
write your solutions yourself.  Some class time will be spent going
over homework problems; I will ask each of you to present solutions on
the blackboard.

\textsc{Honor code:} Exams and homework are conducted under the honor
code.  As mentioned above, cooperation on homework is permitted, but
copying is not.

\textsc{Plan for the course:} We will start with a discussion of the
topological notions of \emph{open set}, \emph{closed set},
\emph{continuity}, \emph{compactness}, and \emph{connectedness}, as
applied to subsets of Euclidean space $\mathbf{R}^{n}$ (or more
generally, subsets of a metric space).  Then we will start with
Chapter 1 of the textbook, and get as far as we can.  Naturally, this
plan is subject to change.
