Grades Posted (updated 07/30): I posted your scores for first 5 homeworks + midterm.
The "total score" is computed by weighing the hwk 35% (after dropping your lowest score), and the midterm for 65% (=total % for all exams at end of term).
The class grade is a rough estimate of your grade at this point. It can be changed a lot by the remaining assignments, and especially by the final exam; only about 47% of your grade is set so far.

 

Week 5 (07/20-07/26):

This week we'll cover part of §18 from Chapter 2 in Munkres.
We'll review for the midterm on Wednesday, and collect Homework 5 (§17-18).

The midterm is on Friday. Here's some midterm information.

Week 4 (07/13-07/19):

This week we'll cover §17-18 from Chapter 2 in Munkres.
 Homework 4 (from §14-16) will be collected on Wednesday, 07/15.
