Grading policy:

Homework: 40%

Midterm exam: 25%

Final exam:  35%

Homework policy/honor code:

 In general and unless otherwise noted, if you run into difficulty with homework, you may discuss it with others. The work, however, should be substantially your own--you may not copy solutions from classmates or previous years' homeworks or exams. When a specific collaboration policy is given for an assignment, that given policy supersedes the general policy just given. Credit will be subtracted from all work handed in late, unless you have worked it out beforehand (with a good excuse!) with Prof. Arnold.

All Homework is due Thursday, 3pm to Jelena’s mailbox in Spalding 1^st floor.

No homework will be accepted after the solutions have been posted.
