Requirements for the course:
There will be homework
for each topic covered. Homework will be
done individually. Final grade will be
determined by grades obtained on the homework.
For an A: Work 30 problems, at least 2 from each chapter; For a B: Work 22
problems with at least 2 from each chapter; for a C: Work 15 problems, with at
least 1 from each chapter.
Note: If there are
less than 5 students, the course will be done as an independent study with
students meeting with the instructor at their request; homework can be
submitted through the internet or by fax if desired. The fax number is 746-2063.
