Examinations:

The test dates are yet to be determined. If you are ill and must miss an exam, you must notify me before the exam is given in order to be allowed to take a makeup. Any student with disabilities who is eligible for accommodations must notify me explicitly if they wish to receive individual accommodations.

All handouts and additional information will be available on the Math 255 Web page at:
http://www.emba.uvm.edu/~dinitz/teaching/math255.s08.html

Homework: There will be homework assignments daily. These homeworks sets are an essential part of this course. These are to be done in a neat and orderly fashion. We will discuss them at the next meeting of the class.

Try to have a look at the web-site from time to time. I will post assignments, some hints, solutions and maybe bonus problems on the website.
