Homework
- Homework will be assigned once a week and will be due every
Thursday before the lecture. Discussions and collaboration is encouraged.
But you must write up your own solution.
Before tackling any problems, read the relevant section of
the text and review your lecture notes. Consult with the faculty, the
tutor or your classmates about matters that are unclear to you. NEVER
LET YOURSELF FALL BEHIND.
Note
I am trying my best to help you succeed in this
course. Trust me, I am on your side. However, you must try your best.
This is a very advanced and challenge course. It will greatly benefit you for your future
graduate study. Though it is very hard at the beginning since there are many very high
level new concepts, you will finally get used to them. By the time you are in your graduate school,
you will certainly be at the top of the "mountain" as a student with your talent ought to be. So let
us work really hard now!
