Homeworks will be assigned approximately once a week. Unless otherwise specified, you are encouraged to discuss and even collaborate on the assignments, but you are asked to write up the homework individually in your own words. On some assignments, which will be partway to take-home exams, I may specify that collaboration is not permitted.
Please do not search for solutions of these problems on the web, at least until you have written up your own solutions and just want to check. You won't learn much from following someone else's solution.
I will post solutions at the time the homeworks are due. For this and other reasons, I will not accept late homeworks unless prior arrangements have been agreed to by me.

Assignments and solutions are available in One Column mode, which is best for viewing, and in Two Column mode, which is more efficient for printing and still easily readable

Note: if any of you are interested in looking at the latex source for the homework assignments or solutions as a way of learning latex, let me know. I am willing to send you the source, or if lots of people are interested, post it.
Note that the solutions to problems from Peskin and Schroeder are posted here so as to only be available from within Rutgers.
