Homework assignments
Late Homework will not be accepted. In order to qualify for a regrade you must have submitted
your homework on the due date.
Write the names of your the group members with whom you worked on the homework, please make
sure that what you turned in for homework is your own understanding of how to do the problems.
Practice problems:
These problems are very important. We will discuss these in class as a group.
Please be sure that you understand these problems thoroughly as you will be asked to present
some of these problems in class.
Graded assignments: These problems will graded in detail.
Homework due day: Homework will be assigned daily and will be collected once a week.
