Homework is a compulsory part of the course. Homework assignments are due each week at the beginning of the Wednesday class (9:10am). Under no circumstances will late homework be accepted.

You are encouraged to discuss homework with other students in class, however the work you hand in should be your own, not copied from someone else. No credit will be given to solutions with suspiciously identical mistakes.
