Homeworks There will be a graded homework most weeks assigned from the textbook. You will upload your homework solutions to Moodle and a selection of problems will be corrected by the grader. You are encouraged to discuss the homeworks with others and me, but you should write up solution on your own. Late homeworks will only be accepted if arrangements have been made with me before the deadline. However, exceptions can be made in other cases, for example, medical or family emergency. Your lowest homework score will be dropped.
