MAT 311 Problem Sets
Number Theory
Spring 2011
|
There will be 10 weekly problem sets due at the beginning of lecture
on Thursday.
Problems due one week will often practice material covered in
previous weeks. It is important to do the problems in a timely manner;
do not postpone problems until the last minute.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL LATE HOMEWORK BE ACCEPTED.
In exceptional circumstances such as a documented medical absence,
etc., the instructor will drop the missing problem set and compute the
problem set total using the remaining problem sets.
You are encouraged to work with other students in the class, but your
final write-up must be your own and must be based on your own
understanding. Moreover, write-ups must be legible, etc. Write-ups
which prove too difficult to read may be marked
incorrect or may be returned to the student to be rewritten.
All questions regarding grading of a problem set should be addressed
to the instructor in a timely fashion.
