Important!  Homework Policy: Feel free to consult books or any other source of information to help with your homework assignment, including talking with each other.  But the version you hand in should have been written by yourself on a clean sheet of paper, and not copied from someone else.  It is also important that it be easily readable—an important part of the homework task is clear presentation.

Always give a reference to any source (book or internet) that provides a significant part of your answer.
