 Graded homework: weekly

term. Graded homework will contribute 20% towards the final mark.

document needs to include your candidate number (NOT your name, surname and student ID number). Your submission needs to
be in a single file. If you need to draw graphs by hand to answer a certain question, scan and edit them appropriately. Then, include
the scanned graph in your submitted document.
