Homework problems will be handed out every Tuesday and are due a week later. You can work together on homework problems, but you need to write up your solutions individually. You can turn in the homework by placing it in the box located in the building of the Division of Applied Mathematics, 182 George Street. When you enter the building the box is placed on a table on your right. The building closes at 5 p.m., please make sure you turn in the homework before that!
