Homework : Will be assigned weekly and will be due each Monday, unless mentioned otherwise. The homework will be graded by a special grader. Due to lack of funds, it will not be possible to grade all the homework problems assigned. A few of the homework problems will be corrected and graded every week. Nevertheless, for your own benefit, you will be asked to hand in all the homework problems assigned. Your grade on each homework assignement will be calculated as follows:

60% The grade on the corrected problems.
40% Credit for handing in most of the homework problems assigned. Partial credit will be given.

Three homework grades will be dropped from the final grade. These will include the lowest grades and assignments which were not handed in.

Course Grade :

40% Exam1 and Exam2 (20% each).
25% Final Exam
15% Derivative Test
20% Homework
