Assignments
Assignments are also available from Spring 2007, and for a similar course for earlier years.
Remember that, where applicable, the solution to each problem must at least contain:
- A brief statement of the problem
- A sketch
- A list of all important assumptions made in solving the problem
- The general form of the equations used to solve the problem
- An equation with the plugged-in numbers and the highlighted solution
Failure to include one of these elements will result in lost credit for the problem.
