  Guidelines

  In learning the material the homework plays a key role. Late homework will not be accepted except in case of emergency. You may (in fact, this is encouraged!) to work together on the homework, but you must write it individually. The general rules for academic honesty apply to all written work. To really understand the material well, you should read the book and your lecture notes, as well as solve additional problems. I will include few "routine" problems; you should solve them on your own until you are comfortable with the material. I will sometimes assign prelim problems for the homework and in the tests.
