Writing assignments will typically require you to choose a problem on a given problem set, and explain it using complete sentences. Your work should be a free standing document that does not require the reader to look at the original problem statement on your problem set or any of your work submitted on the problem set. You will write approximately three pages in LaTeX (for example at http://www.overleaf.com), which may include background information and a discussion of the wider context for the problem. You will revise your writing assignments based on peer feedback. You will also be asked to revise your writing assignments to include references to scholarly sources such as textbooks. You may be asked to present your writing to the class as part of your grade.
