Directions for Calculus homework
- On the front page of your homework paper, list names and provide signatures of all team members who co-authored your team's solution.
- Your homework solutions will be evaluated for mathematical correctness and
completeness, and for narrative quality.
- You may either type homework papers or write them by hand.
- Legibility is more important than choice of medium.
- Papers with erasures over-written, or with material scratched out, are
not acceptable. Submit a clean final copy for grading.
- Figures or graphs may be printed or
hand-drawn. Again, choice of medium is less important than legibility.
- Provide each graph with a title, axis labels, a caption and legend as
appropriate.
- If a figure is not on the same page as the referring text, tell the reader where to find it.
- Use worked examples in the textbook as models for homework solutions.
- Throughout the paper, take care to
- Write in complete English sentences.
- Tell what each variable stands for, and give its dimensional units
(meters, kilograms, seconds, ...) if any.
- Tell what each paragraph is about (use topic sentences).
- Tell what are you doing, and why.
- State your conclusions, and justify them with reasons.
