Homework Assignments

There will be weekly homework assignments. Homework will be posted on this webpage on or before the Wednesday of each week, and completed homework assignments will be collected by me at the beginning of class on the following Wednesday. You're encouraged to discuss homework problems with each other, but you should write up your solutions individually. Homeworks should be presented neatly and carefully. Late homeworks will not be accepted without prior arrangement (genuine emergencies excepted): if for some reason you think you won't be able to get your homework in on time, please come and discuss this with me before the due date.
