Assignments
The assignments in this section refer to Athena, which is MIT's UNIX-based computing environment. Assignments are due in the lecture (L), recitation (R), quiz (Q), and project (P) sessions noted in the table. We recommend that you read the entire problem set before you begin work. Important background material on problem set procedures and hints is provided below the table.

Background Material
Problem set procedure (PDF)
Hints on succeeding on 6.170 problem sets (PDF)
The following two reference files, which should be used jointly with the problem set procedure, provide additional details on how to complete the problem sets for 6.170.

Projects
A major component of 6.170 is the final project, counting for 35% of the student's total grade. Students work in teams, and all team members receive the same project grade. Although full collaboration on all aspects of the final project is permitted, every member of the team is expected to contribute a roughly equal share to the design and implementation. Each team may enter its final project implementation into a class contest for an award.
Gizmoball
Gizmoball is a customizable pinball game.
