The homework assignments for the entire semester are given here. Problems in the boxes refer to problems from the text, Cosmic Perspective Fundamentals. Extra credit problems are included below the box.
All homeworks are due at the beginning of lecture on the
date specified, in PDF form, to your TA (whose e-mail address
is astro100-010?, where the ? should
be replaced by your section number).
Homeworks are late (and suffer a 20% penalty)
after the beginning of lecture.
The end of lecture is the last opportunity to turn in homeworks
(with the late penalty);
after lecture on the day homeworks are due they
will no longer be accepted.
Always put your name and section number at the top of your homework!
Be sure to type your submissions; scanned PDFs can be very difficult
to read, so you might not get full credit.
It is necessary to demonstrate understanding.
For multiple choice questions, explain why the answer you chose is correct.
