How to submit the work:
Please, for your first Homework, share the overleaf document with math300.uic@gmail.com.
The same link will work for each homework since you'll be using the same file, so no need of submitting multiple files. We will be making the comments for each homework in that week's page in Blue, for you to see how to improve the work next time.
