Schedule and list of assignments
Please note that the weekly topics are tentative, and they may be adjusted as the semester progresses. However, they and the HW assignments will be finalized at least one week in advance. I am including links to the tex files of the HW assignments; if you want to type up your solutions in LaTeX, you can upload the tex file for the HW assignment to overleaf and then type your solutions directly into the file. That way you will have the problems themselves included in your write-up, without having to type them out yourself. It will also give you a way of seeing more examples of how I type various math expressions in LaTeX.
