Classes: Lectures on course topics based on illustrative examples, review and discussion. Instructor Office Hours: Individual questions on course topics and study guidance. The course will involve a good deal of homework mostly required readings and working on handout assignments and problem sets. On average, students should expect approximately 6/8 hours of work per week outside of the classroom. Course schedule and detailed reading list on the web page. There are regular homework assignments and class quizzes. Assignments are due at requested dates on course schedule. Students may work in a team (Max 4 elements) in assignments but cannot keep the same team for more than one assignment.
