Homework

Homework problems must be written or printed onto paper and given to the instructor by the assigned due date. You are welcome to work together on the problems, but you must write all the steps yourself on the papers you submit.

Answers to the homework problems will appear after the due date. Because the answers will be visible to everyone at that time, I will accept no late homework.

Textbook

There is no official textbook for this course. However, there are books which we recommend that you read. These books may clarify material covered in class, and they may also give you a second view which makes more sense to you than our explanations.
