Problem Sets

There will be approximately eight problem sets, each involving both written work and computational exercises in MATLAB. You are encouraged to discuss these assignments, but the final write-up (including computer code) must be entirely your own work. As a rule of thumb, you should spend an hour working each problem independently before collaborating with a classmate. You may not consult solutions from previous sections of this class.
