Homework

Homework is due during the lecture on the Friday after it is assigned. Remember to staple your homework together on the top left-hand corner and write your name on the front sheet. Neat homework makes happy graders, which leads to a better grade for you. :) I will post the homework at the bottom of this webpage.

Office Hours and Problem Session

I will hold office hours by appointment and there will be a weekly problem session (time and location yet to be announced). I will also answer emailed questions. My office number is E16 and other contact details are on this link.
