Room: Hill 124, Busch Campus.
Days: Tuesday and Thursdays between May 29th and July 19th, 2007.
Time: 6:00 pm – 8:45 pm.

Course Materials
Lecturer: Eduardo E. Osorio.
Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm, in Hill 606.
Exams: There will be two midterm exams and a final exam.
Homework: There will be textbook homework. I will collect homework each Tuesday. I will spot-check it for completeness only. You are responsible for making sure you have done all problems correctly. You should work with friends. If you can do EVERY problem, each in a reasonable amount of time, then you will ace the final. I don't accept late work, so if you must miss class, arrange an alternate time to give me your work.
Quizzes: There will be a short quiz at least once a week. Some will be announced and others a surprise (that's a substitute for taking attendance), but given in class and based on the assigned homework problems. They may cover material discussed the same day. You cannot use your notes or books on quizzes. There will be no make-ups for quizzes.
Grades: Your course grade will be determined by your total grade as follows:
