- All assignments need to be submitted before Sunday midnight.
- Students need to submit their assignments through the dropbox link provided.
- The name of the zipped file (this should contain the LaTeX/TeX source file, pdf, and code) for submitting your assignment should be as follows: da02b034_5.zip (or .rar or .tar), where da02b034 is your roll number and 5 implies that you are submitting your fifth assignment.
- Any copying on assignments will result in a zero on the assignment.
- The grader will expect you to express your ideas clearly, legibly, and completely, often requiring complete English sentences rather than merely just a long string of equations or unconnected mathematical expressions. Clear exposition is a crucial ingredient of technical communication. Clarity of thought and presentation is more important in mathematics & sciences than any other field. The only way to master exposition is by repeated practicing.
