exercises listed below. 

GENERAL COMMENTS: 
This is a summer course in which we must cover an entire semester's 
worth of material in less than five weeks.  Therefore, the pace of 
this course is   EXTREMELY FAST .  If you fall behind at any point in the
course, you will very quickly find yourself in serious trouble.  
Therefore, do your best to stay caught up with the material.  
You should expect to work at least  10 HOURS PER WEEK  outside 
of class in order to master this material in this course.

The last day to drop this course without receiving an F is Friday,
June 4. You will have taken two exams by that date. These grades 
should be a strong indicator of how well you will do
in the course.  Use them to decide whether to stay or drop. If you are 
undecided about what to do you should talk with me first.

The course web page contains announcements and useful information 
for students in this course.  Solutions to exams, and this syllabus
will be made available in downloadable form. 
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHECKING THE WEB PAGE FROM TIME TO TIME
SO THAT YOU WILL NOT MISS IMPORTANT INFORMATION .

GRADING:    
Homework.
Included with this syllabus is a list of homework exercises for 
the course.  While homework will not count explicitly in your 
final grade, it is  VITALLY IMPORTANT  that you do the homework 
exercises for a given section  IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT SECTION 
HAS BEEN COVERED IN LECTURE . The assigned problems are 
representative of the exam questions.  
  
Midterm Exams.
A total of 5 exams will be given during this course.  Exams 
will be given on Thursday, May 27, Thursday, June 3, Thursday, 
June 10, Thursday, June 17, and Wednesday, June 23  DURING THE 
FIRST HOUR OF CLASS .  Your lowest exam score will be dropped.  
Consequently,  NO MAKEUP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES 
WHATSOEVER .  Your exam average will count for 2/3 of your final
grade.  
  
Final Exam.
There will be a cumulative final exam given on Thursday, 
June 24, 1999, 10:30pm--1:15pm in the same room where
we have class.  The final exam will count for 1/3 of your final grade.
