    you may bring to use one single sided 8x11 sheet of paper of notes

    Grades

    Grades will be based on the formula of
    w1 * homeworks + w2 * midterms + w3 * final

    General Homework Guidelines

    - Homework is due on Mondays, in class
    - Write your firstname first and lastname last on each page followed by your student id number
    - Use 8.5" x 11" paper
    - If you have several sheets, staple them and page number on all sheets
    - Write clearly; if we can't read your homework, you may get no credit for it
    - Make sure it is clear what your answer is
    - Cross off anything you don't want us to read/grade
    - You don't need to restate the problem (it is OK if you do)

    Guidelines for Writing Proofs and Solutions

    - Say what you mean; don't force the reader to guess
    - Say what you are assuming (e.g., "assume x")
    - Say what you are proving (e.g, "I'll prove y")
    - Say what follows from what (e.g., "... and this implies ...")
    - Proceed from true or assumed facts, even if you are trying to reach a contradiction
    - Avoid extraneous comments, examples, etc. or clearly identify them as such
    - If you write one formula under another, say how they are associated (each line implies the next?)
    - Don't skip steps
    - Justify each step unless you intend to claim it is trivial (e.g., a simple algebraic manipulation)
    - State what theorems, facts, or assumptions you are using
    - Be clear: do you mean "for all" or "there exists"? (e.g., pick x so that ...)
    - Be clear: do you mean "and" or "or"?
    - Be clear: do you mean "implies" (==> or -->), "if and only if" (<==> or <-->), or "equals" (=)?
    - Be clear: do you mean "a divides b" (a|b) or "a over b" (a/b)?
    - Avoid abbreviations not commonly used in English except for: iff, lhs, qed, rhs, wlog
