Your homework solutions must be legible, all steps must be shown, and your answers should be clearly indicated. Also, your homework must be stapled together. Collaboration on the homework is encouraged, but each student must independently write up his/her own solutions. You are free to use calculators and computer algebra systems on the homework, but be warned that no calculators/computers will be allowed to be used during the exams.
