Problem sets are assigned on Mondays and due at noon ET the following Monday. Please upload
to Canvas. You must typeset your solutions; if your solutions are handwritten, 1 pt will be deducted from your problem set grade. To help you get started, here is a LaTeX template for typesetting your problem sets solutions. You are encouraged to collaborate on problem sets with classmates, but the final write-up (including any code) must be your own. If you need an extension on a problem set, you must contact the course staff at least 24 hours before the due date. We do NOT accept late problem sets.
Drafts of future problems sets may be posted, but they are subject to change (up till the Friday before their due date). If you find any errors in the problem sets, please let us know.
