Miscellaneous Remarks and exhortations:
In each class, I will write down a list of suggested problems. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics. You should therefore do all the suggested problems. If you have difficulties with certain problems or topics, get these difficulties resolved right away (by coming to office hours, for example). Don't hesitate to make use of the scheduled office hours; you don't need an appointment.
I don't mind if you discuss the problems among yourselves, but it isn't useful for one person to simply give away his or her solution of a particular problem to other students. I will be available during office hours to give out (almost unlimited) hints on the homework problems.
Read the book! There's not enough time to cover in lecture every detail and nuance, and still have enough time left to work examples and answer questions. I'll always use the notation and terminology of the text.
