- General ground rules on problem sets: Discussion with classmates,
with me during office hours, or in Calculus Workshop is permitted. However,
the solutions you hand in should be written in your own words, and if you did
get substantial help from another student, from me, or from the
Calculus Workshop on a problem, please add a ``footnote'' to that
effect in your writeup. Full explanations
and justifications for calculations must be given for full credit.
Here are some sample solutions
showing the level of detail we expect.
