First lecture is on Aug 25 (Thu). First discussion session on Friday Aug 26 (Fri)

• Discord server I will keep an eye on it and answering questions. (There is also an unofficial one around.)
• Stack Overflow for Math H54 This is the team version. You can register with berkeley email
• Ed Discussion (hmm, something new, let's try it out)
• Student Area: you can post your lecture notes and homework solutions, as a reference to your fellow class mates.
• 3Blue1Brown You can visualize stuff.
• Wolfram-Alpha: https://www.wolframalpha.com , online graphing tool, and also good for computing
• Overleaf. If you want to latex your homework, try this one.

We will have homework, quiz, participation, midterm and final.

• Homework will not be graded, you are encouraged to try them, discuss about them on our online discord forum.
• Quiz 20%. We will have weekly quizzes on Monday Wednesday discussion session.
• Participation 10%. It includes: interaction during class and discussion, asking and answering questions on our discord forum, sharing lecture notes or homework solutions, or any useful materials for learning.
• 2 Midterm 15% + 15%, Final 40%.
