Syllabus

Each student in this course is expected to abide by the Cornell University Code of Academic Integrity.  You are encouraged to work together on your assignments (problem sets and laboratory write-ups), but the written work you turn in must be your own or that of your groups.  When working  together on an assignment, please list the name(s) of those you worked with.  See the Code of Academic Integrity and Acknowledging the Work of Others (in the Policy Notebook for the Cornell Community and also on the web at http://cuinfo.cornell.edu/Academic/AIC.html) if you are unclear on what constitutes acceptable academic behavior.

This is a dynamic syllabus - it is subject to change.
