Collaboration Policy

Collaboration is encouraged while solving problems, however you must write your own solution to every problem. Please list your collaborators on every homework that you turn in. Copying will not be tolerated.

Exams

We will be holding a mid-term, on October 17th, and a final exam on December 5th. Both exams will be in class.

Project

Each student will be responsible for a project of their own selection (subject to approval). The projects are due on Wednesday, December 11th.
