There will be 9 assignments during the semester. The assignments will be posted in the tentative schedule about 7-10 days before they are due. The login information necessary to access the homework PDFs will be provided in the first class. The homework must be submitted to me in class the day they are due. Late homework policy: homework returned in the next 24 hours after the due date will be accepted but with 25% penalization (i.e. the maximum grade you can get in this case is 75% of the total points for that homework). After these 24 hours the corresponding solutions will be posted here, and homework assignments submitted after solutions post will not be graded.

While I strongly encourage you to discuss the homework assignments with your classmates, the work you hand in must be entirely yours.

Listed officially as PHYS 416, this is a very important adjunct to the main lecture class, taking place every Thursday from 1 to 1:50pm in PAIS 1140. It will provide you additional practice with solving problems beyond the homework assignments and self study. Furthermore, the class will also give you a valuable opportunity to bring to my attention your difficulties with any concepts covered in the lecture class so I can address them in a group setting. The problem sheets would be posted here on the Wednesday before the problem class. The corresponding solutions will be posted after the class. You will receive credit for the problems class as long as you register and show up for more than 10 sessions. Even if you don't register for the class, I encourage you to attend anyway, just to get the extra practice.
