Homework Assignments
Pledge Policy: Can you work together? In a word, yes. It's even a good idea, as you can learn a lot from each other, and working together on a problem is more fun than working it alone. BUT you should realize that it carries risk, as it is very easy to end up in a situation where you are not learning how to do the problems yourself - you are just understanding how someone else is doing them. SO HERE'S A REQUIREMENT: the work you turn in for grading must be written up by you alone without any notes or solutions from the discussion with others. You may not copy a solution that you came upon in a group discussion onto your homework paper.
Tests: One in-class exam on October 6, one take-home exam the week of November 10-17, and a final.
Grades:
Consider a research group in mathematics - see math.rice.edu/VIGRE
Accommodations: If you have a (documented)
disability and you'd like an accommodation, please speak with me
during the first two weeks of class. Any such information will of
course remain confidential. You'll also have to file forms with
Disability Support Services in the Ley Student Center.
