A word on grading. Grading for this course awards 1/2 point each for up to twenty of the approximately thirty Problem sets. This should give you the flexibility to earn the maximum number of points, without undue stress, if you have a life crisis and miss the deadline for receiving credit. I anticipate that you will find the problem sets very helpful and will want to do all of them, even if you have already earned the maximum number of points.
