18.311 Principles of Applied Mathematics (Winter-Spring 2008).
Course news will appear here, in reverse time order (latest first).
=====================================================================
Before drop date important info:

 Grading using
 regular problem sets #1--#4  (50 points each)
 special problem sets #1 (35pt)  #2 (30pt) and #4 (30pt)

 Compute as follows
 A = add grade of the 4 regular sets and multiply result by 0.30/200
 B = """""""""""""""" 3 special """"""""""""""""""""""""""" 0.70/95
 T = A+B is total numerical grade (so far)

 These are the statistics
         MEAN     SIGMA
  T    88/100    14/100
  A    25/ 30     6/ 30
  B    63/ 70     9/ 70

 You should compute your own grade to get a feeling of how you are
 doing. As of now ROUGHLY (since the statistics will change as more
 problems sets are added to the grading)
     Above 90 should be an A
        80-90 is B range
        70-80 is C range
 If you end up below 65 you should be VERY concerned.
 If you end up below 55 you should DROP. You cannot "catch up".
