Homework: 

Homework will be assigned weekly and posted on the website. The problems will help you to learn the material and it is important that you understand how to do all of them. Homework is due on Friday at the end of class unless otherwise noted on the website. All chapter and problem numbers refer to the textbook. No late homework will be accepted and no make up assignments will be given, but the lowest scoring assignment will be dropped when calculating your final homework score. You may work together, but everyone is expected to write up their solutions individually. Homework must be stapled and clearly labeled with your name, and ID. Do not use tape or paperclips or any other novel method to bind your homework.
