COURSE TOPICS
  Chapter 1- 8, in text book
REQUIRED TEXT
  " Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" by Mary L. Boas, 2nd Edition by John Wiley &  sons


OPTIONAL TEXT

CLASSES
  We will typically see one chapter of the book every 3-4 classes and problems associated to that chapter will be given
  to be turn at the end of each chapter as homework ; Attendance in lecture will not be taken, but is highly recommended;
  First day of class: August 26th
  Tuesday and Thursday (10:50 am - 12:15 pm).
   Room SETB 2.232.
OFFICE HRS
  Instructors will be available after lecture and during office hours to answer any questions you might have on the problems;
   T, TH 2:00pm-4:30pm, and by appointment.  
   Room SETB 2.258
EXAMS
  Open Book allowed; MidTerm and Final Exam will consist of written examinations based on problems similar to homework;
 Make-up exams and/or extra credit will not be given;
   MidTerm : Tuesday March 23 (10:30 - 12:00 am). Room SETB 2.232.
  Final : Tuesday May 4 (10:30 - 12:00 am). Room SETB 2.232.
GRADES
  Your final grade will be based on homework (50%), midterm (25%), and final (25%).
  Letter grades will be assigned to number grades as follows: A: 90-100, B: 80-89, C: 70-79, D: 60-69, F: 0-59.
HOMEWORK
  Homework problems constitute the major part of this course.  At least 10 problems associated to each chapter will be given to be turn the day after the end of each chapter.
 If you cannot do the problems, it is usually a sign that you don't understand the material. Please, read the book more than once in a meaningfull way!
 You are strongly encouraged to work together on the problems using the collaborative learning technique.
 You will discover that, in the process of explaining physics to one another, you obtain a better understanding of the material yourself

Note: This information sheet will be updated periodically and can be subject to changes (especially in the part of the homework assignements). Any comment or suggestion should be addressed directly to the Instructor .

HOMEWORK  Reading and Homework problems are assigned at the end of each Thursday's class, and are due at the beginning of next Tuesday's class.
