Homework 4: assigned Tue Feb 21, due Tue Mar 7 at 5 p.m.

Please submit all homework on paper -- give it to me in person or leave it under my door (WWH 429), not in my mailbox. If you cannot submit the hard copy by the deadline, you can submit an email copy to s70421g2@cs.nyu.edu by the deadline and follow it up by submitting hard copy the next day that you are on campus. The email copy and the hard copy must match.

Ground rules for homework: if necessary, you can get help from any source (friends, classmates, books, the web) but you must acknowledge the source in your submission. Penalty for not reporting your sources : grade of zero for the homework. Penalty for late homework: 20%. Homework will not be accepted more than one week late.

If you have any questions about homework, please email me, not the grader. Also, you may send questions to the class mailing list, and suggestions for trouble-shooting (but not homework solutions!) may be posted there too.

This homework is much more involved than the previous 3 homeworks. Be sure to get started on it early or you will not have time to complete it.
