There will be 5 problem sets during the course, and the final grade in the course will be an average of your grade in the problem sets.
Starred and Non-Starred Problems
The problem sets will contain problems of normal difficulty, as well as more challenging problems that will be marked with a star (*). Solving all normal difficulty problems is enough in order to get an A-, but to get an A or A+ requires solving a substantial number of starred problems.
Collaboration
- You are highly encouraged to think about and solve the problems by your own. However, discussing the problems is allowed within reason (i.e. not just sharing your solutions). In any case of collaboration, please mention in your submission the names of people that you have collaborated with, individually for each problem.
- You may not look up solutions to homework problems online or offline.
Submission
- Solutions to problem sets are to be typed in LaTeX and submitted as a PDF file.
- The submission deadline for each problem set will be mentioned in the problem set itself. Late submission will result in penalized score of 20% reduction per day. That is, a submission late in 2 days that is graded x points will actually be given 0.6x points. No fractional reductions.
