559 Assignments

This semester, students will be required to complete 4 programming assignments, and 4 written homework assignments (in addition to projects).

The programming assignments are small programs to help make sure that you have the skills required to complete the projects. The programs are detailed on a seperate page.

Written assignments are designed to force you to think about class material and to check to see if you understood some things. Assignment 1 will give you a chance to see how rusty you are with some of the class prerequisites.

In all cases, you should be able to complete the work in the space provided (print out the assignment sheets). In the event that you need more space, be sure to print your name and login on every sheet you turn in and staple the sheets together.

The assignments:

Assignement 1: Linear Algebra Review and Survey, due 9/10
