| Prerequisites: |
MAT 67, MAT 150A; or permission by instructor |
| Grading: |
There will be regularly assigned homeworks, which you should present in class on Fridays.
Every student should present at least 1 problem in class.
The only way to really learn and grasp the material is to play and work with it yourself!
There will also be projects to be presented in groups of 2-3 students at the end of the quarter.

| Computing: |
During class, I will illustrate some results using the open source computer algebra system
Sage. When you follow the link, you can try it out yourself using
SageMathCloud. Or you can sign up for a
Class Account with the math department.
Log into fuzzy.math.ucdavis.edu and type the command `sage` to launch a Sage session in the terminal.
