MS&E 125

📝 Assignment 4

Due date: Friday, May 3 at midnight Pacific time (i.e., 1 minute after 11:59pm).

⏳ We recommend attempting each problem ASAP so you can accurately estimate the time needed to complete the assignment.

  • This is not an assignment to start the night before the due date!
  • Remember that MS&E 125 is a 4-unit course. For the median student, this is supposed to translate to 3 weekly hours of lecture and 9 weekly hours of working on assignments and studying.

Unless otherwise stated, assignments are to be done individually. You are welcome to work with others to master the principles and approaches used to solve the homework problems, but the work you turn in should be your own.

This assignment has not been seen by a previous cohort of MS&E 125 students, so there may be some unforeseen hiccups. If anything seems confusing or unclear, please create an Ed post.

We will use this Ed post to track errors and clarifications on HW4.

📮 Submission

Submit your assignment via Gradescope.

  • For the Google Colab submission, run all of your cells using the Run all command in the Runtime menu. Then, download your completed Google Colab notebook as an .ipynb file. Finally, use this website to convert your .ipynb file to .pdf format. Proofread the PDF to make sure all of your answers and plots are visible and not cut off. If your PDF is really long, it is possible that your code is printing out the entire dataset or a really long vector. Please make sure to comment out any code that prints more information than each question asks you for.

  • Issues converting to .pdf? Make sure there are no error messages in the outputs after you run all cells. Please do not use any special characters in the filename of the .ipynb file that you upload.

  • The project proposal is turned in separately from HW4, but they are due at the same time.

Submit your Colab PDF to Gradescope. Make sure to tag your answers properly on Gradescope, or else you may be docked points.
