The exam will be open book, open notes. The goal will be to insure that you are proficient with some of the theory and algorithms presented in the course. .. _hwformat: Homework format --------------- Written solutions should be submitted as pdf files (not Word, please). Ideally these should be typeset using latex. (See :ref:`biblio_latex` for some sources). If necessary you can hand write and scan, but typeset work is much easier to grade and is good practice. If you use a notebook, please submit both the `.ipynb` file and the `.html` or `.pdf` file that is generated via the `Files --> Download as...` menu, or with the `ipython nbconvert` command. If you use a Python script, please submit the `.py` file. For computer code, please include suitable documentation to describe what you've done and also explain it in your written solutions when appropriate. Include appropriate figures in your writeup.
