Open Problems

We have the habit of stating one open problem per lecture. Here is a list of .ps files of the open problems discussed so far.

Homework Assignments

We have a set of homework problems for each chapter. I expect you solve half of the problems. The solution of each problem should fit on one page. Official faculty home page
