| Homework Policies | Homework problems will be assigned on Mondays and Wednesdays (see assignments). |
| Homework is due by 4pm on the first lecture day of each week (usually Monday) and can be turned in during lecture or directly to the grader's mailbox (Paul Reschke) in the mailroom on the 3rd floor of SEO. | |
| The list of challenge problems (see course materials) will be updated on a regular basis; you must complete four of these problems during the semester, with at least two of them submitted before the midterm exam. | |
| Late homework will not be accepted. | |
| You can discuss the homework with other students, but you must write (and understand!) your own solutions. | |
| The homework problems depend on material from both the assigned reading and the lectures. Do not leave the problem sets or reading to the last minute! |
