  Grading:

  It is likely that your grade for the course will be determined by the
  following factors:
   
                  Problem sets*           40%
                  Computational project   20%
                  Exams (including final) 40%
  

  ^*Problem set solutions can be turned in at any time within one week of their assignment. In general, there will a new assignment after each lecture, so that for optimal learning, it would be best to to complete each assignment before the following lecture. According to the honor system, all work submitted for grading purposes should re present the student's own best efforts.
