Finals Week
Final Exam
Dec. 17, 8-10 am Comprehensive  

There is no tolerance for late assignments without medical or tragic reason, as solutions will usually be posted the day after due date. The lowest homework grade will be dropped.


You are encouraged to work in a study group in doing the homework, discussing the problems, but I expect each student to write up, after understanding, his/her own solutions handed in for grading.
