lecture and will be collected on Wednesdays. Staple your homework papers, otherwise
they will not be graded. Print your name, Date and section
number clearly on top of the first page. Every week, I will assign some extra
credit problems. I am more interested in your thinking,
explanations, and the logical flow of your work, than your numerical
correctness. You are permitted, even encouraged, to
work together on homework. When you do so, please acknowledge one another. Each problem has 5 points: – 1 point for stating the
problem at the beginning. – 2 points for correct reasoning
leading to a correct solution. – 2 points for clarity and
neatness. Assignments #1, due Wednesday,

Take Your Professor to Lunch! I strongly believe in making a personal
connection with my students. I ask you to take the advantage of ``Take your Professor to Lunch"
program at KU, so that you may talk to me about your progress in
class and discuss your challenges with the material. I often find that when
students come and talk to me, they become more motivated and they make more effort in learning.
Also, students who have educational relationships with faculty members
outside the classroom are shown to be more successful in their collegiate experiences. (See
a related article appeared on LJWorld here)
