Instructions

Each Tuesday you will download from this website an interactive Mathematica notebook which is to be completed and worked on during class. We also post each week a worksheet that is to be completed before next weeks lab.

All homework will be submited by email to your TA and must be submitted according to the guidelines requested by your TA. In general, we expect that

In addition, we appreciate well-organized output. For example, each worksheet could be titled, organized into sections of problems, and commented:

If your TA requests that files be submitted as pdfs, choose "Use Bitmap Representation" while saving pdfs so that the saved pdf files are more compact.

Conversely, if your TA requests that files be submitted as mathematica notebooks, then be sure to select "Delete All Output" from the "Cell" menu before saving. Again, this is so that the saved files are compact.
