Enrollment Restriction

The enrollment in the course is limited to 30 students. We have limited the enrollment primarily because this is a new course and we want to encourage active student participation and feedback to refine the content and general quality of the course. We feel that we can do so best if we limit the size of the class. During the first class we will ask you to complete a form that provides us with information about you and your background. If there is excess demand for the course we will apply a rationing system. First priority will be given to MIT undergraduates who have completed 14.01 and are scheduled to graduate in Spring 2007. We will then take a stratified random group of the students meeting the pre-requisites to fill the remaining slots. You will be notified by email as to whether you can take the course before Monday, February 12.
