When doing your homework, I encourage you to use the Elements of Style for Proofs (see Appendix A of the course notes) as a reference. Note: On each homework assignment, please write (i) your name, (ii) name of course, and (iii) Daily/Weekly Homework number.

## Daily Homework

The following assignments are to be turned in at the end of the indicated class period. I reserve the right to modify the assignment if the need arises. These exercises will form the basis of the student-led presentations each day. Daily assignments will be graded on a $\checkmark$-system. Exercises marked with $\star$ are eligible for the formal Weekly Homework assignments. During class, you are only allowed to annotate your homework using the felt-tip pens that I will provide.

## Weekly Homework

In addition to the Daily Homework, we will also have Weekly Homework assignments. For most of these assignments, you will be required to submit two formally written proofs. In general, you may choose any two problems marked with $\star$ that were turned in during a given week to submit the following week (due dates to be announced). For example, you may choose any two problems marked with a $\star$ that were turned in during week 2 for the second Weekly Homework. These problems are due during week 3.

Beginning with the second Weekly Homework, you will be required to type your submission. You should type your Weekly Homework assignments using $\LaTeX$ (see below for more on this). I will walk you through how to do this.

• Weekly Homework 1: Choose any two $\star$-problems from Daily Homework 1-3. For this first Weekly Homework, you do not need to type up your proofs. (Due Thursday, September 12 by 5PM)
• Weekly Homework 2: For this assignment, complete a single $\star$-problem from Daily Homework 1-6. You must choose one that is different from the problems you did for Weekly Homework 1. Also, you are required to type your homework using LaTeX. If you are unfamiliar with LaTeX, see below for some helpful links, including some introductory videos. (Due Thursday, September 19 by 5PM)
• Weekly Homework 3: Choose any two $\star$-problems from Daily Homework 7-9. Use LaTeX to type your homework. Either print out your assignment or email me the corresponding PDF. (Due Thursday, September 26 by 5PM)
• Weekly Homework 4: Choose any two $\star$-problems from Daily Homework 10-13. Use LaTeX to type your homework. Either print out your assignment or email me the corresponding PDF. (Due Thursday, October 10 by 5PM)
• Weekly Homework 5: Choose any two $\star$-problems from Daily Homework 14-15. Use LaTeX to type your homework. Either print out your assignment or email me the corresponding PDF. (Due Thursday, October 17 by 5PM)
• Weekly Homework 6: Choose any two $\star$-problems from Daily Homework 16-17. Use LaTeX to type your homework. Either print out your assignment or email me the corresponding PDF. (Due Thursday, October 24 by 5PM)
• Weekly Homework 7: Choose any two $\star$-problems from Daily Homework 19-23. Use LaTeX to type your homework. Either print out your assignment or email me the corresponding PDF. (Due Friday, November 15 by 5PM)
• Weekly Homework 8: Choose any two $\star$-problems from Daily Homework 24-25. Use LaTeX to type your homework. Either print out your assignment or email me the corresponding PDF. (Due Thursday, November 21 by 5PM)
• Weekly Homework 9: Choose any two $\star$-problems from Daily Homework 26-27. Use LaTeX to type your homework. Either print out your assignment or email me the corresponding PDF. (Due Thursday, December 5 by 5PM)
• Weekly Homework 10: (Optional) Choose any two proof-type from Daily Homework 28-29. Use LaTeX to type your homework. Either print out your assignment or email me the corresponding PDF. (Due Thursday, December 12 by 5PM)

## Using LaTeX for Weekly Homework

You are required to use $\LaTeX$ to type up your Weekly Homework assignments. To do this, I suggest that you use my LaTeX Homework Template. The easiest way to get started with $\LaTeX$ is to use an online editor. I recommend using writeLaTeX, but there are other options. The good folks over at writeLaTeX have preloaded my template, so to get started, all you need to do is click the link below.

For a rough overview of some of the basics of $\LaTeX$, you might find my Quick LaTeX Guide useful. Also, I’ve created a couple videos that explain how to get started with my LaTeX Homework Template using writeLaTeX. The first video is here and the second one is here. I ran my mouth too much, but this is what you get when you wing it. Note: The first video walks you through copying the contents of the template from GitHub, but this is unnecessary now that you can just click the button above. If you need any help with LaTeX, please ask.
