Syllabus Homeworks and Exams Make sure you always show your work. This way you may get partial credit in case the final result is wrong. In any event, please try to prove your statement(s). Failure to prove things earns you only 50% of the maximum for that particular problem in case the answer is correct, and nothing in case the answer is wrong. In case you can't prove something show at least your attempts or try to give an explanation of why you gave that particular answer.

You can find the documentation on the companion CD, under the Tutorials. For your convenience the same documentation is also available below:
