Homeworks
The homework problems are designed to understand the material discussed during the lectures. You are encourage to solve these problems as the new material is covered in class. Group work is strongly encouraged, but individual solutions must be submitted by each students.There will be a total of 11 homeworks (due on Wednesdays or Fridays, as the calendar indicates). Links to the homework assigments (in pdf format) will be uploaded below, the same day the homework is assigned (typically a week before it is due.)
Only three problems from each set will be graded. Each homework set will be worth 20 points (5 points per problem graded plus 5 extra points for completion). No late homework will be accepted without medical excuse, but the lowest score will be dropped.
Homework must be submitted as a pdf file on Carmen. This document can be generated in two ways which will not cause major disruptions to what you have been doing so far. For those of you who have access to a tablet, this should be simple (e.g. by using Notability on an Ipad). Otherwise, you can scan your handwritten solutions with your smartphone and generate a pdf. There are several apps and tutorials online for this (see, e.g. this one).
