Overview
A typical class will involve the presentation of the material and working through some problems on the board.
Student participation in class is strongly encouraged.
Please ask questions at any time.
There will be two midterms, one final, weekly homework, and several in-class quizzes.
Midterms will be based on work presented in class and done on homework, but you should not expect it to be identical.
