Problem Sets


Mathematically rigorous solutions are expected; strive for clarity and elegance. You may collaborate on the problems, but your write-up must be your own independent work. Transcribed solutions and copied MATLAB code are both unacceptable. Unless it is specified that a particular calculation must be performed `by hand,' you are encouraged to use MATLAB's Symbolic Math Toolbox (or Mathematica/Wolfram Alpha/Maple) to compute and simplify tedious integrals and derivatives on the problem sets.
