Our weekly recitations are mandatory for all students. They consist of about 20 minutes reserved for questions about the material and homework, then 60 minutes of group work in more challenging problems. You are encouraged to discuss with your colleagues and ask questions to them, the TA or the peer mentor during this time.

Students will then be assigned one of the problems to write-up as homework due the following recitation. This write-up is individual work, and mathematical correctness only counts as half of the total points. The other half comes from presentation. What this means is that your work must be neatly organized (either typed or handwritten) and your calculations must be accompanied by text which explains your reasoning. Complete, grammatically correct sentences are a must.
