Lateness and Collaboration Policy:
There will be a problem set every week or two, counting for 40% of the grade.
You are advised to begin early.
The problem set will be due at the beginning of class,
in (typed or legibly handwritten) paper or electronic form.
You are allowed 6 late days for the semester, of which at most 2 late days may be used for any single problem set. Late days are counted in increments of 24 hours (starting at 10:35am on the day the homework is due). You may submit late homeworks to the instructor or TA in person, electronically, or by leaving the homework in the instructor's mailbox and sending an email. If you do not submit in person, we will send you an ack upon receipt of your email.
You may consult outside references when doing the homework, as long as these sources are properly referenced, you write up the solution yourself in your own words, and you understand the answer. However, the problems are designed with the intention that the material seen in class (and the corresponding sections of the textbook) should be sufficient to solve them. Collaboration is allowed for groups of at most 3 students, under the following conditions:
