Guidelines

On each homework assignment, please write (i) your name, (ii) name of course, and (iii) homework number. You are allowed and encouraged to work together on homework. Yet, each student is expected to turn in his or her own work. In general, late homework will not be accepted. However, you are allowed to turn in one late homework assignment with no questions asked. Unless you have made arrangements in advance with me, homework turned in after class will be considered late. I reserve the right to modify assignments if the need arises. When doing your homework, I encourage you to use the Elements of Style for Proofs as a reference.

Here are the assignments. I will post them as we go.
