11-29-18 Problem Set 11 has been posted. It is due by noon on December 12 (last day of class). This problem set is worth 200 points, rather than the usual 100, and asks you to solve 2 of 4 problems. For the purposes of computing your final grade, each of the two problems you choose will be treated as a separate problem set (so if you skip one of them and it will be treated as your lowest problem set score and dropped).
