Course Syllabus

The syllabus contains important information about course such as how grades will be calculated, policies and expectations, etc. Any important updates or changes to this syllabus will be discussed in class.

Announcements and Comments:

Please use jbaker@cs.kent.edu as my email address rather than my "kent.edu" address, as I check the first one much more frequently.
The first problem assignment is "mod 4". This means that you divide the problem number by 4 and take the remainder. All with remainder 0 will be worked by one set of students, all with remainder 1 by another set of students, etc. You find which group you are in by taking (your number determined by the alphabetic listing of class) mod 4. That is, divide your number by 4 and remainder identifies your group.
Once problems are covered in class, all students become responsible for all problems assigned.
Your midterm examination will be on Monday Nov. 2.

Reading Assignments:

You should read the assigned reading material prior to its presentation in class. Later re-readings and referencing will be needed to clarify material that is unclear or to check for specific facts.
