Homework

There will be regular homework assignments. You have the option of working on the homework in teams of two or individually. Teams or individuals should not share their solutions with others. Both members of a team should make significant contributions to the solution, and the each team should submit only one solution. You can ask me for hints on the homework. Late homework will not be accepted, but you can make arrangements with me to turn it in early if you have to miss class.
