-Only members with their names on this cover sheet will receive credits.

-Collaborations between team members are encouraged; however one or two authors will be responsible for one problem and may be asked to explain it.

-The authors should present the solution on a blank sheet with their names on it. Submissions from a same team should be stapled together

-Solutions should include “self-explained” diagrams/sketches, with minimal wording. Neat presentation will count toward the problem grading.
