ADVICE: Do these assignments as we come to them. Solve extra exercises when you have trouble with a topic. It is permissible to discuss exercises with classmates, but you should write your own solutions in your own words. (Don’t copy classmates’ solutions.) You are also allowed to come to me for help if you get stuck.
