There will be 1 midterm and a final. Final = 2 midterms for grading purposes. Homework will usually be assigned at each class meeting. Homework will be collected one week after being assigned. It will be graded and usually returned at the next class meeting. Homework grade = 1 midterm. Exams are closed book. Formula sheets are generally provided. No other formula sheets or other aids may be used during the exams.
