Course Information and Grading Policy
The course structure consists of reading, lectures, and homework. There will also be three exams: two in-class mid-term exams and the final exam.
- Reading assignments will be given for every lecture mainly from the course text book by Townsend and are listed in the Syllabus for each week. Please try to read before lecture, as you'll get a lot more out of lecture if you already have some idea of the concepts. The texts and other books are described on the homepage.
