Exam Practice Here is a list of problems that you might like to use to practice for the final exam. I am not suggesting that doing these problems is the best preparation, or sufficient preparation. It is simply a list of good problems from the book that were not on homeworks, so you can practice on problems you have not previously tried. List of Practice Problems for the class.
Homework Homeworks will be assigned approximately weekly, and will be due in class. Youssef will grade them and they will be returned the following week. It is expected that the solutions you hand in will be rigorous, carefully written, and easy to read. If you do not understand the grading of your homework, or are unsure about the standard that is expected, please ask during class or office hours. Here you can find the homework for the class.
