Schedule
Listed below are deadlines for the semester. Generally, the problems listed under a date should be solved before that date. Problems for the first 10 weeks are roughly grouped by topic; it's up to you identify the topic. Finding the theme might help you solve problems, but don't let it keep you from being creative (one person's calculus problem might be another person's geometry problem). Notes and other information about the problems will be added as issues arise. Note that the future is uncertain and subject to change.
