Online Instruction

The class will meet daily through Zoom (the link will be posted on Moodle) from 9am to Noon. There will be lectures posted daily in Moodle (together with lecture notes). The Zoom meetings are meant to be a space for you to work on problems with me, and for lectures. Homework

There will be written homework daily. The homework will be turned in and will reinforce the matertial learned in class. Collaboration in the homework is permitted, however you must write your own solutions in your own words (or symbols). You should submit your homework via Moodle. You must also support your answers with the intermediate steps you took to reach the answer.
You can find the homework assignments for this class below:
