HW policy:
You are encouraged to discuss with other students, and refer to course materials, but need to write down your own solutions.
HW will contain both analytical and programming problems. Java is preferable, but it is also possible to use other programming language.
Scribing should be typed out in word or latex format, and only need to contain materials not on the slides.
