Guidelines for writing and submitting your homework:
- Show all work. Write clearly and legibly, in complete sentences. Remember that you will be graded
both on your command of the material and on the quality of your writing.
- Do all problems in sequence if possible.
For each solution, identify clearly the section and problem number
(e.g. 1.2, 1.30). Staple your assignment.
- Please use the problem numbers from the 3rd (current) edition of the textbook.
The 2nd edition numbers are provided as a courtesy for those students using the 2nd edition, but
the TA marking the homeworks only has the 3rd edition.
- You may discuss the
homework with other students, but the final write-up must be your own.
-
If you cannot come to class, ask a friend to hand in your assignment
or drop it off at your instructor's office before 12 noon on the due date.
Late homework will not be accepted.
