Daily assignments are due at the beginning of each class. I encourage and expect you to work with other students for homework, but you should write up your own papers to hand in. Use standard paper and staple multiple sheets. Write neatly and coherently. Graphs and plots should be incorpoarted into the written solutions, near the prose, and should be given titles or captions and clear axis labels.

Labs will be done in groups during class and only one assignment should be turned in for each group.

Data sets for all homework problems are available on the textbook CD and on the Grinnell storage folder: \\Storage\projects\Mat\MAT115-Kuiper

Problems in brackets {} are not to be handed in, but are suggested additional problems for review and extra practice.
