Machine Problems

All Machine Problems (MPs) will be posted here. There will be about five MPs, (approximately) according to the following schedule.

Homework Assignments

Homework assignments (HWs) will be posted here. There will be about six HWs, and they will be handed out (approximately) bi-weekly. We will stagger HW deadlines so that they do not overlap with MP deadlines.

For HWs, you must submit hardcopy solutions that are typed. Figures may be drawn by hand. Handwritten solutions will be returned without being graded. For each homework, please make sure each new problem solution starts on a fresh page, and that your name appears at the top of each sheet. Homeworks are due at the start of the lecture on the due-date (no excuses).
