Dear Math 98 Students: 

HW 1-4: I have inputted grades largely based on effort. Solutions are available, but you should still feel free to submit them until the final project due date. 

Grading Scheme: Let G be the grade computed by the original scheme, where G = (0.15HW1 + 0.15HW2 + 0.15HW3 + 0.15HW4 + 0.4 F). The new grading scheme is simply max(G, F). Basically to say, if your final project is good, you're good. 

Final Project: 
Before you start coding: 
- Do you understand the (theoretical) point of this assignment? Namely the benefits of how Newton and Bisection are being combined? 
- Can you implement it by hand? For example, given the sample input in #4, can you compute the first few iterations?

As you debug: 
- When you go line by line through your code, can you tell whether it is doing a step of Newton or Bisection? And is it matching the output you computed by hand? 

The deadline for this is 3/1. This is a hard deadline.

Best, 
Andrew
