See Project Assignments and Milestones . I can be a real SOB on the beginning of the class period deadline. It is rude to walk into class late, and I don't want to offer encouragement by accepting homework in the middle of class. The computer being down or crowded for a few hours is NOT an acceptable excuse for a late assignment. Your written assignments must be neat and typed to the extent that is practical.
Assignments are to be written on only one side per sheet of paper.
Unless specified otherwise, assignments will be a solo effort. I reserve the right to make copies of homework papers public through either electronic or physical means. You should prepare each assignment so that you will be proud to have it displayed for public scrutiny. Others may be completed in languages of your choice. See especially journals such as ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, SIAM Journal of Numerical Analysis, SIAM Journal of Scientific Computing, Journal of Symbolic Computation.
