Homeworks are due Fridays on 5pm via Gradescope, unless announced otherwise. A brief video tutorial
is available here.
You can submit work as a series of photos of your handwritten notes or as a single PDF, either
exported from a note-taking app, scanned, or created by combining photos of your handwritten notes (there
are free apps available on all major mobile operating systems for creating “scans” from photos).
Please start each problem on a new page!
To limit access, the solutions to the homeworks will be made available through the GitLab materials
repository but not through the website. Please do not distribute the solutions.
