Announcement (outdated announcement is subjected to be removed)

• Test 3 and Grades of both sections have been posted. Let me know if you have any questions. This will be officially posted on UBLearns on May 4.
• (updated 6PM on Friday April 24) Homework, quiz and test have been graded and will be returned in class. I want students to come pick them up. Importantly, when you pick up your test, if your name is highlighted in BLUE, you have victoriously received an advanced A for the course. If you name is highlighted in YELLOW, you are very close to getting an A and I will give you a short in-class quiz to immediately get an A without having to take the last test. If you name is not highlighted, there is no worries, just take the last test.
• Test Two solution is available. I recommend students to check it out.
• UBCAST is available starting today. I need you to fill in these evaluation forms. This is absolutely very helpful for me in many ways.
• Homework 5 solution and lecture note for chapter 12 have been posted. These will help you doing test Two.
• Test Two is updated(full). Check grade pages for more information.
• First question is posted. I need to resolve some group members before posting the rest. If you dont receive my email with subject [conflicted group], you are safe. If you emailed me on Friday, I will update the group name on Saturday evening.
• Two groups have been conflicted sharing same members!!! Check your emails if you are one of them. I need this problem to be solved by noon Saturday, else I will disband these two. Identical tests( copied, cheat,..) will be taken seriously. Links will be reactivated by Saturday evening.
• Grades have been updated. I am happy with the current Rankings and the overall progress records of our classes. 
• I want you to form your groups for test 2 following policies announced in lectures. I will not accept any lame excuses of any group formed AFTER I release the test next Friday.
• Homework 5 has been posted. There is also a helpful tool linked in the homework that I encourage to understand and use it. This is purely optional.
• Grades have been updated.
• New lecture note (chapter 10) has been posted.
• Homework is available. I had to activate the link to this homework on Saturday instead of Friday, so I decided to give you extra time.

• Solutions have been posted. I recommend students check the homework solutions out to prepare for next test.
• I will probably post an extra reading assignment this weekend.

• Participation credits: updated. Test One grades: updated for section S. Instead of picking randomly 10 students, I have decided to grade and award extra credits to all students who handed in this optional  assignment.
• Homework 3 is out
• I had to reschedule the meeting with T.A.s and graders to next week due to some time conflict. Only those who took the early tests have their tests graded (by myself). For the rest of classes, test grades will be available till then next week.

Be advised that I will only post a brief note of the lecture content, that is, the most important topics. This is to help students keep track of what are being taught in class. Examples, explanation, problem solving strategies, ... will be presented in class.

I will post homework under this section, most likely all will be in pdf files. Some problems are from text book, some are not. For those taken from textbook, I retype the problem (i.e., you don't need to look up in the book), change it if necessary (make it easier to understand or suit the course better), give hint (if problem is hard) and put a reference number/page before each.
Occasionally , I will post some practice problems which will not be collected, these will be titled practice. It is highly recommended that you are able to do as many of them as possible, especially  BEFORE each test. Solutions are also provided, but very briefly, only to help students check up on their work. Should you have any trouble solving some of them, come to my office hours.
