Tenth and last Homework: (Due Thursday 19 November 2020 at 17:00)
The homework assignment, in .pdf, and the same file in .tex.
Logical clarity and simplicity are your goal.
I recommend that you check that my .tex compiles in your LaTeX environment and that the output matches (mutatis
mutandis) the .pdf I provide. Also, as you answer problems in the .tex, continue to compile it to check for
errors.
Extra Credit: Each of the passwords used for zoom in this class has numerological significance.
I will give extra credit (added to test scores) of 5, 10, and 20 points for the answers to their numerological significance.
(5 for the first one answered, 10 for the second, and 20 for the third. I think that their difficulty is at least in geometric
progression.)
The answers must be posted in Piazza and in reply to the post I will put there, and must not be anonymous.
The tradition that evolved of anonymous posting is a bit of a pity.
