Homeworks
Usually there will be a homework for each 2-3 weeks. Homeworks will be theoretical and will
include the important outcomes of those weeks. Moreover, they give idea about the exams.
The process of actively struggling with an assignment is one of the most important educational
experiences that you will have in this course. Your main incentive for consistently doing the
assignments should be to enhance your comprehension of the material. It is beneficiary for
the student to put some individual work on these. Late homeworks will not be accepted.
Expectations
We expect you to make an honest effort to do homeworks and submit on time. Also we
expect that the work you submit to us under your name is yours. Interactions of students on
the problems are useful and are encouraged, but each person should work on his/her solution.
Copying from others is immature, dishonest and waste of everyone’s time. Attendance is not
mandatory but it is advised to you to attend all the lectures. Participation will be
rewarded by 10%.
Examination Dates
MT1: 3 April, Friday* , MT2: 4-8 May(??)
