IMPORTANT: All these problems can be edited and submitted for correction by selecting WORK:assignments on the course main page. They generally open with a template that provides useful advice and guidance to derive the solution. The color coding corresponds to the expected level of difficulty:

* Easy.
The problem is a direct application of the theory in a situation of practical interest: solutions typically combine text without formulas, ASCII plots and parameters of the VMARKET applet without any programming.
* Moderate. generally be solved with a short analytical derivation, a discussion of the result, a plot parametric dependencies.
* Difficult. The problem is an extension of the material discussed in the syllabus and requires a good command of the mathematical language, which can be expected for university graduates from quantitative fields.
