Grading instructions for Assignment 1:

1. Each question carries 4 points. For Q4, each part is worth 1 point. For Q5, the first 
direction will get you full points. The second direction (done correctly) will get you 2 extra credit points.

2.  Points will not be deducted if you have not shown *all* the intermediate
steps as in the solutions published. However, it is in your own advantage to show 
intermediate steps, since you can get partial credit if your steps are
correct but your final solution is wrong.

3. Some books use different notation and slightly different definitions (e.g. Natural 
numbers starting with zero). Since neither the instructor nor the TA has read every 
textbook on the subject, it is your responsibility to include any results (and
sources) that you make use of.

4. In general, the TA will give you partial credit for incorrect solutions
as long as she feels your basic approach was correct and/or you were on 
the right track.
