Important: Students, please subscribe to the course mailing list by sending email to zivbj@mit.edu. Please include your name and email address. |
Important: Solution to each HW problem must be handed in on separate sheet(s). Solutions are due before class on alternating Thursdays. (See Syllabus for the dates.) |
Important: Students must participate in grading homework. Please see information at the bottom of this page. |
FYI: You may want to use spec92.sty and 6.852.sty style files for typesetting your homework solutions in LaTeX. "spec92.sty" is Leslie Lamport's package that defines a spec environment for printing an ASCII specification. The environment is like verbatim, except that \ works as usual, and various abbreviations are defined--for example, [ ] for \Box and => for \Rightarrow. See comments in the file for info on how to use it. "6.852.sty" has some extensions to the spec environment. |
