Text used: notes, posted (but also see "literature used" below)
Homework: posted every Saturday or Sunday and is due the next Friday.

Please, submit your homework as a single pdf file by email. Scanned handwritten hw is accepted, but do use a pen that is easy to see on a scan (NOT a pencil). Leave some blank space at the end of each problem for me to write remarks.

Group work is encouraged, but everyone has to write up their solutions alone.
