About Homework: Homework will be assigned for each section of the book, and should be done daily at the same pace as the lectures. Assignments will be posted on the web site. Although it should be done daily, it will only be collected once a week, on Fridays in my office, no later than 12pm. The first assignment is due Friday, September 1st.

Late homework will not be accepted. Late homework will not be accepted. We expect full answers, with explanations and complete proofs. If you have used some source in order to solve a problem (a book or a website) then make sure to cite your references.

The homework is the most important part of the course. No matter how well you think you understand the material presented in class, you won’t really learn it until you do the problems. You are free to devise whatever strategy for learning the material suits you best. This may involve collaboration with other students. We believe, however, that most people will get the maximum benefit from the homework if they try hard to do all the problems themselves before consulting others. In any case, whatever you turn in should represent your own solution, expressed in your own words, even if this solution was arrived at with help from someone else. Remember, you are doing the homework in order to learn the material; don’t try to defeat the purpose of it.
