Homework policies:

        Please try to complete the homework problems; very few students can learn this material without doing so and they can significantly impact your course grade. Students are encouraged to work together on homework. However, each student must turn in his/her own assignments, and no copying from another student's work is permitted.
       
Please turn in the homework at the beginning of class of the due day. No late homework will be accepted.
