Homework must be turned in by the end of the lecture on the due date. In the event you are unable to come to class because of illness, you may email your answers to Rapti.
Some of the assignments require the use of symbolic algebra software. We recommend Mathematica, and will give tutorials using this software. You may use Matlab if you prefer, but we will not be able to assist you with this. Note: In computational problems, all operations need to be done within the symbolic algebra software. You should not perform any intermediate steps analytically.
