Additional Notes

1.      The outline described in the sheet is only tentative. The dynamics of the class will determine, to some extend, how strictly the time frame is adhered to.

2.      Homework (HW) will be assigned weekly and will be due the following week before the beginning of the lecture on Thursdays.

3.      One lowest HW score will be dropped, late HW will not be accepted for credit.

4.      Bonus points will be assessed for class participation, which includes team exercises, attendance and working on optional problems which may be assigned
