Homeworks will usually be assigned on Fridays and will be due on Fridays of the next week (7 days later). Each problem is weighted equally unless otherwise indicated on the assignment. Only a subset of the problems may be graded. There will be 7 homeworks; the homework with the lowest score will be dropped from the calculation of your grade.

Homework are individual assignments. Homeworks will be graded strictly. Typically, incorrect final answers will be at least 50% off of that portion of the problem, no matter what the cause. Incorrect approaches will cost anther 25%. Note: A different but correct approach that yields the correct answer is worth full credit, unless a specific solution methods is requested in the problem. Also note: You can expect a lot more partial credit on exams.

Hand in your homeworks at the beginning of class on Fridays. We will not accept late homeworks. The homeworks will be sorted and distributed to the graders after class.
