Policies	Homeworks are due at the beginning of class. Late homeworks will be downgraded by 20% for each day passed the due date. Collaboration is permitted and encouraged for homeworks, but each collaborator should turn in his/her own answers. The midterm is in open-notes and open-books format. Collaboration is not permitted for the final project.
