MATH 452 Detailed Outline

Weekly Syllabus and Assignments:

The following outline provides the lecture weeks, relevant textbook sections,
and the homework assignments. Since we have a small class and our progression
may be quicker than anticipated, therefore, details of this timetable will be
updated as the class progresses. The Homework List will be updated each week
with the next week's assignments.

Assignments:

The Homework is due by 4:30pm on the dates specified. Late homework is not accepted (this is compensated by the deletion of the worst score). The homework should be turned in at class time, or at my office before the deadline, or to the receptionist in Armstrong 320 in case I must be elsewhere. The assignments should be neat, concise, and well-written in their arguments (proofs).
