Problem Sets and Past Exams

Notes: Some of these problems have open-ended answers, and some are designed just to get you to re-read the class material. Others have sharper answers and are more like exam questions. All answers must be sent in by Gradescope, ideally in the form of a pdf file. Of course, you can write the problem set by hand, but you must scan and send electronically.

To receive full credit the problem set must be turned in by the midnight ending the due date. No exceptions.

Problem Set 1: due Friday, September 11, by midnight.
