  Suggestions for completing the assignments

• Don't submit several pages of raw numerical data. Data sets should be presented graphically or summarized in a compact table of numbers.

• If you have written a program yourself, then submit a printout of the whole program or its interesting sections. If you have modified one of the supplied programs, indicate the sections you have modified on the printout.

• A nice example of a homework writeup by Dr. Gould of Clark University. Here is his LaTeX source code: sample.tex. Your writeup need not be as long as this one: just explain briefly and clearly what you have learned by completing each exercise.
