I will follow the scope of the book, but not
necessarily the order of chapters in the book. Specifically, I will
leave Chapters 5, 10, and part of Chapter 8 to the second semester;
Chapter 11 will be looked at if time allows. There will be homework
assignments (80%) and the final exam (20%). The homework will be all
take-home. I will try my best to hand out each homework assignment, via
email, on a Monday, and you will be typically given a week to
finish it. The final exam is in the format of a
in-class presentation of a topic by each student; the topics will be
given in the middle of the semester.
