Homework Assignments & Solutions

From this page you can download homework and sample exams and homework solutions.

Remember that you will need to separate the homework assignment into a set of pages for each problem. You will also be scanning the homework, so make sure you start on a new piece of paper when you start a new problem, and write on one side of the paper only.

Copying, Working in Groups, etc.

I expect you to do homework on your own. While some discussions with classmates may be appropriate, doing the homework together in a group is not. Using other people’s programs, unless specifically directed to do so, is not acceptable. If you are having difficulties, please come to office hours.
