Guidelines for writing and submitting your homework:
-
Homeworks will be collected at the beginning of class on the due date.
Late homework will not be accepted.
- If you cannot come to class, ask a friend to hand in your assignment
or drop it off at your instructor's office before 12 noon on the due date.
- Write clearly and legibly, in complete sentences. Show all work.
- Do all problems in sequence if possible.
For each solution, identify clearly the section and problem number
(e.g. Section 2.3, Problem 30). Staple your assignment.
-
You are encouraged to discuss the homework with other students, but the final write-up must be your own.
- Solutions to odd-numbered textbook problems are available in the Student Solutions
Manual. You are encouraged to try to solve all the homework problems on
your own. If you get stuck, you should consult the solutions manual, then
write up the solution in your own style, filling in the details where necessary.
Remember that merely copying solutions from the solutions manual without understanding
them will not prepare you for the examinations.
