Problem sets will be assigned weekly; check this webpage for the assigments. Each homework set is due during your recitation class of the following week (unless otherwises stipulated). Note that the solutions to some of the problems appear in the back of the text book. You should nonetheless try and solve these problems without recourse to the answer key, and should write the problem up carefully in your own words even if you have consulted the book for the final answer: always show your work.
It is OK to discuss homework problems with other students. However, each student must write up the homework individually in his/her own words, rather than merely copying someone else's.
There will be one midterm in class on Thursday October 28. The final exam is scheduled for December 16 between 5:15pm and 7:45 pm, and will be held in our classroom Javits 101.
Make certain that you will be available at these times, as there will be no scheduled make-ups for these tests.
Please note that makeup exams are only given if a student misses an exam for unforseeable circumstances beyond the student's control. In particular, schedule conflicts (such as other exams, or plane flights) are not an acceptable reason for missing an exam.

Stony Brook expects students to respect the rights, privileges and property of other people. Faculty are required to report to the Office of Judicial Affairs any disruptive behavior that interrupts their ability to teach, compromises the safety of the learning environment, and/or inhibits students' ability to learn.
Each student must pursue her or his academic goals honestly and be personally accountable for all submitted work. Representing another person's work as your own is always wrong. Faculty are required to report any suspected instance of academic dishonesty to the Academic Judiciary. For more comprehensive information on academic integrity, including categories of academic dishonesty, please refer to the Academic Judiciary website at http.//www.stonybrook.edu/uaa/academicjudiciary/
