We will also use published articles from peer-reviewed scientific literature. You may find the following texts to be useful as additional resources:

Students are encouraged to work with classmates outside of lecture periods and discuss the course and course assignments; however, final solutions to homework problems are to be prepared on an individual basis. The penalty for cheating will be a "zero" grade for all parties involved.
