Notes about assignments:
Groups of two may collaborate and hand in a single homework set.
Some of the exercises are odd numbered, and are available from Professor Orlin's home page (http://web.mit.edu/jorlin/www/). You are on your honor to give the odd numbered exercises a sincere effort before consulting the web site, and to make sure that any write-up is fully your own. Please do not use phrasing taken directly from the web site. The same rule applies to any other problem to which you may have access to a solution. If you consulted another solution in order to solve the exercise, please mention this in your write-up.
Homework will be graded out of 3 points, as described in the syllabus. The grader will fully grade some exercises, and briefly scan others.
