General Information Schedule Homework

Problem Sets

Problem Sets will be due on most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. They will be posted to the course webpage and must be turned in at the beginning of class. Please take the time to write your solutions neatly and carefully! All homework assignments consisting of more than one page must be stapled. Your lowest three Problem Set scores will be dropped.

Unless you have a serious emergency which you bring to my attention before a homework assignment is due, late homework will not be accepted. However, please feel free to take advantage of the fact that several assignments scores are dropped to skip writing up a homework assignment if you have more pressing demands on your time.

You must cite other books or online sources if you use them to help solve a problem. If you enjoy working in groups, I encourage you to work with others in the class to solve the homework problems, but you must write on your homework the names of those with whom you worked. In all cases, your homework is to be written up independently in your own words. This means you can not write a communal solution and all copy it down, and you can not copy and paste a solution from somewhere else. In general, getting ideas from other people or sources is fine (so long as you do not read another solution), but you need to cite such assistance and then take those ideas and write the problem up on your own.
