 Policy on discussing homework        No late homework 

Homework is an important part of learning mathematics.
You should get help on problems you are unable to solve.

Due to limited grader resources, only some problems will be graded.
The decision will be made after homework is due, so you should do all problems.

You must show your work for credit--don't just copy the text's answers.
Remember to hand in text and lab homework separately.
