12/10/01: Grades to date are posted outside 4-111, Math. Tower. They have been computed according to the formulae described in the course outline (without reference to the final examination; thus the B total is at most 75 and the A total, at most 105). The homework exercise grade is twice the average of the best ten efforts; the problem grade, the sum of the best five (these may be adjusted as a result of the (next) two assignments that are still due). A current track B total grade of approximately 45 represents a C. Clerical errors in the grades should be reported to I. Kra or W. Kim as soon as possible.

The first part of the session (between 10 and 12) will be conducted by I. Kra; the second (between 12 and 2), by W. Kim. Please bring in problems to discuss; each part of the review session will end earlier than scheduled if there are no questions.
