Math 115: Homework and Assigned Reading
Written homework will generally be due on Tuesday in class. You are encouraged to discuss the homework with other members of the class, but you will be expected to write up your solutions without any assistance. It is appropriate to acknowledge the assistance of others. I will reserve the right to refuse to accept late homework for any reason.

Your homework will be grading for both correctness and clarity; you should follow the Math department's homework guidelines when writing up your solutions. Poor presentation on your homework (and exams) may result in loss of credit.
