Assignments for PHY494

Submission of homework is now to your private GitHub repository. Follow the link provided to you by the instructor in order for the repository to be set up: It will have the name ASU-CompMethodsPhysics-PHY494/assignments-2020-YourGitHubUsername and will only be visible to you and the instructor/TA. Follow the instructions below to submit homework.

git clone your assignment repository (you only need to do this once) and run the script scripts/update.sh (replace YourGitHubUsername with your GitHub username):

repo="assignments-2020-YourGitHubUsername"
git clone https://github.com/ASU-CompMethodsPhysics-PHY494/${repo}.git
cd ${repo}
bash ./scripts/update.sh 

New homework assignments will be added during the semester. Run update.sh to get a new assignment:

repo="assignments-2020-YourGitHubUsername"
cd ${repo}
bash ./scripts/update.sh 

For each assignment_NN the script should create three subdirectories assignment_??/Submission, assignment_??/Grade, and assignment_??/Work. (If the script fails, file an issue in the Issue Tracker for PHY494-assignments-skeleton and just create the directories manually.

• The Submission directory will contain your homework.
• The Grade directory will contain comments from the TA/instructor.
• You can use the Work directory to store scratch files and alternative attempts that should not be graded.

Commit and push a PDF, text file or Jupyter notebook inside the assignment_NN/Submission directory and name it hwNN.ipynb (or hwNN.pdf) (where NN is the assignment number). Follow the instructions in each assignment. Homeworks must be submitted according to the above scheme, be legible and intelligible, and on time (commit date) or may be returned ungraded with 0 points.

• There is also a tex directory: it is not relevant for your homework because it contains the LaTeX sources that were used to create the assignment PDF file. You may use it to typeset your answer if you like, but you are not required to do so.
