Grades/Curve: Grades will be based on the percentages below. Curve will be applied if needed.
Quiz: Wednesday, February 10th, 10% of your grade.
Exam 1: Wednesday, March 17th, 20% of your grade.

Homework: Assigned every week. Worth 10%, possibly spot checked (spot checked means: some spot(s) of each homework checked, and all will be collected). Lowest homework grade dropped. Some homework will be iode based (see below).
Iode: Iode is a free software package tailored for this course. We will spend some time in the computer lab learning this software and you will be assigned some homework using it. See https://math.uiuc.edu/iode/. Iode requires Matlab or Octave (version 2 works for sure, version 3 maybe). Matlab is available in the lab and Octave is free so you need not purchase anything.
Test Policies: No books, notes, calculators or computers allowed on the exams or the final.
