There will be 5 graded homeworks, a midterm and a final. The homeworks will be given on some of the Wednesdays (September 18, 25, Oct. 9, 23, Nov. 6) and are to be returned on the following Monday. Each homework will give you up to 60 points (so 300 points in total). Late homeworks will be accepted, but will be discounted, at 3 per cent per day of lateness. The midterm will be on Friday, October 4. The midterm will give you up to 300 points and the final up to 400 points. So the total number of points will be 1000. The numerical grades will be determined using the standard procedure with percentages of the total number of points.
