Homework will be assigned and collected in class on Monday of each week. No late homework will be accepted, since we intend to put solutions of the homework on the web. Discussion sections on Thursday will be used for covering examples and going over specific question regarding the homework; this does not preclude using office hours for the same purpose.
For numerical problems, I suggest starting with the IDL: Getting started manual for getting started in IDL.
