Homework 1
General Guidelines
Submit your answers in the associated Canvas assignment. In your submission, please
submit one PDF file with your answers and the screenshots of the Python outputs.
When appropriate, include your Python output along with the Python commands you
used to generate that output.
You will need to access and use Python for your problem sets; instructions are posted
on Canvas.
When working on problem sets, be sure to show your work and carefully explain your
answers. For questions that require some computation, answers that consist solely of a
single number (even if correct) will be given less credit than those that show how the
answer was deduced. For interpretation questions, answers that solely restate an
estimate will be given less credit than those that explain what the estimate means in
words.
