Unless otherwise specified, computational problem sets are to be sent as Jupyter Notebooks, with a pdf rendering of the executed workbook. That is, submit both a .ipynb notebook and a .pdf output of the notebook.
If possible, do not split problems into multiple files, as we would prefer to keep things together in one file for self-contained problems.
The naming convention of the files is CLASSNAME_LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_assignment_X. For example, if Jane Doe is submitting assignment 1 for ECON546 then the files should be called ECON546_Doe_Jane_assignment_1.ipynb and ECON546_Doe_Jane_assignment_1.pdf.
Please do not submit a zipped folder, or spread across files if possible, and please follow these naming conventions to make things easier to organize.
- Remember that you can type LaTeX into your
.ipynbnotebooks, so please document any formulas/etc. as Markdown cells with math as required (especially when answers ask you for theory) - Where possible, try to use notation in the code which matches the math. e.g. for parameter alpha, type as variable
\alpha<TAB>to generate the Unicode symbol as the variable name from the latex code. - Document your code and algorithms in the code as appropriate, but do not add in comments that are redundant or add nothing to understanding the approach. For example, if a function name and its arguments are clear from the names what they match to in the math, then no point doing additional comments.
- Use the appropriate style guide for the languages. For example, in Julia use Praxis/Naming and Julia Style Guide and Style.jl.
