Discussions

The discussion sections will not cover new material, but rather will give you additional practice solving problems. You can attend any discussion section you like. However, if there are fewer desks than students, then students who are officially enrolled in that section will get seating priority. See Syllabus for more information.

Homeworks

All homeworks are graded for accuracy and it is highly-recommended that you do them. Your lowest two homework scores will be dropped, but these drops should be reserved for emergencies. The TeX files we provide are not meant to be compiled. They are just provided as a reference. See Syllabus for more information.
