Lecture
Summaries
and
Pencasts:
This
course
is
covered
in
approximately
8
weeks.
Summaries
and
highlights
of
each
of
the
lecture
weeks
are
posted
to
Blackboard,
supplemented
by
a
series
of
pencasts
that
either
clarify
and
extend
the
lecture
content
or
give
solved
examples.
The
lecture
summaries
should
be
studied
prior
to
the
start
of
each
lecture
week.
They
are
meant
to
be
a
consolidation
of
the
textbook
material.
In
them
I
have
used
the
same
notation
as
the
textbook
and
in
some
cases
have
given
a
slightly
different,
alternative
presentation
of
the
material.
Textbook
Problem
Set
Policy:
Problem
sets
will
be
assigned
and
posted
to
Blackboard
weekly,
with
a
due
date
and
time
as
well
as
a
detailed
reading
assignment.
Students
are
requested
to
scan
and
upload
pdfs
of
their
Problem
Set
solutions
to
Blackboard
by
the
due
date.
They
will
be
checked
for
completeness
and
solutions
will
be
available
on
Blackboard.
Collaboration
is
acceptable
on
the
homework,
but
submitted
assignments
must
reflect
individual
student
work.
The
objective
is
to
provide
practice
work
with
the
concepts.
Examinations:
There
will
be
one
midterm
exam
after
the
first
6
modules.
The
final
exam
will
be
cumulative
and
will
cover
all
course
modules.
The
midterm
exam
and
the
final
exam
are
geared
to
test
a
more
fundamental
understanding
of
the
material
than
the
textbook
exercises.
NO
collaboration
of
any
kind
is
permitted
on
these
examinations.
Grading
Policy:
Homework
10%,
Midterm
Examinations
35%
each,
and
Final
Exam
55%.
All
are
expected
to
uphold
the
NU
Honor
Code:
On
my
honor,
I
pledge
to
uphold
the
values
of
honesty,
integrity,
and
respect
that
are
expected
of
me
as
a
Northeastern
student.
