There will be homework due roughly every week. It will consist typically of a reading assignment
(of the part of the book covered in class) and some problems. Collaboration in
the homework is permitted,
but you are not allowed to copy someone else's work. The solutions must be
written individually. You have to mention on your problem set the names of the
students that you worked with.
