Problem Sets

Mathematically rigorous solutions are expected; strive for clarity and elegance. You may collaborate on the problems, but your write-up must be your own independent work. Transcribed solutions and copied MATLAB code are both unacceptable. You may not consult solutions from previous sections of this class.

Unless it is specified that a particular calculation must be performed `by hand,' you are encouraged to use MATLAB's Symbolic Math Toolbox (or Mathematica or Maple) to compute and simplify tedious integrals and derivatives on the problem sets. As always, you must document your calculations clearly.

See Eelco's web page for recitation notes/MATLAB scripts.
