The best way to contact me is by email. Please start your subject line with "1019" and sign the email with the name you used to register for the class.
The homework must be your own work. While consultations with me, the TA, and other students are part of the learning process and are encouraged, you must write out your own answers. Do not copy someone else's work.

You should do the reading before class, if at all possible. You will get more out of the lecture if you do. Do the recommended exercises after the lecture. If you have trouble with one particular exercise, do more similar ones. Doing this will make studying for the midterm and final a breeze. Note that there will be more than one line in the table associated with each date.
The back of the text contains answers for odd-numbered exercises. (In some cases the answers are very brief to save space; you would be expected to show more work.)
