Total 450 points Written Homework Guidelines Homework assigned on consecutive Wednesdays, Fridays, Mondays is due in class on following Wednesday.

Late homework will not be accepted in the absense of divine intervention or matters of similar weight. While homework is collected weekly, it is assigned daily so that you can work on it daily since many of the problems you consider will require reflection. Moreover, lectures assume that you have at least begun to assimilate the ideas presented in the problems. Honor Principle For homework and for Thursday discussions, I encourage you to talk to and exchange ideas with other students. Reach a consensus about a probable proof or counterexample to a problem.
