Reading assignment number 1: Chapter 1, Sections 1-4.
We'll start slow the first week and speed up as we go.
On the problem set, there are 3 points per problem. You have to have it all right to get all 3 points. A little bit wrong and you get 2 points. A little bit right and you get 1 point. All wrong is 0.

Although not assigned because they are basic computational problems, any student who wants to be functional in this course has sense enough to work problems 2-6 and 8-10 in 1.4.
