Homework Assignments for AMSC/MATH 420: Spring 2020
Mathematical Modeling

Late homework should be turned to the grader by e-mail (say "Late Math 420 Homework" in the subject line)
with a hard copy slipped under the CSI 4131 office door of Professor Balan.
There will be no penalty if this is done before the assignment is graded.
There is a penalty of one point per day for each day after that.
