Schedule for the mandatory assignment

There will be one mandatory written assignment for the course. Passing the mandatory assignment is a prerequisite for taking the final exam. The assignment will be published around October 1st, and you must hand in your solution (in the hand-in box on the 7th floor of N. H. Abel's house) no later than Thursday October 22nd at 14:30.  You may cooperate with others when preparing your solutions, but what you submit should reflect your own understanding of the material. The assignments will be checked and corrected, and given a pass/fail grade.  Students receiving a marginal fail grade will be offered one chance to revise their solutions, by a later date in November.  Here is the math department web page about the regulations for mandatory assignments.
