Assignment Submission

  • Submit all solutions by email as a SINGLE pdf file only to ee5390(dot)2013(at)gmail(dot)com. Name your file exactly as per the instructions below.

  • Name your file with your id eexxxxx and assignment number yy as eexxxxxx_yy.pdf

  • Joint work masquerading as individual submissions(a.k.a. copying) will result in severe penalties: e.g. zero on all assignments.

  • Regardless of the order in which you do the problems, rearrange the solutions in the right order in the submission.

  • Choose appropriate axes limits while plotting your results. The area of interest should be clearly visible in the plot.

  • You can use a wordprocessor of your choice and convert the result to a pdf file.

  • If you have multiple files, you can use pdftk to combine them. This is installed under /usr/local in VLSI and TI labs. Documentation can be found at /usr/local/doc/pdftk/pdftk.1.html
    Another way to generate a pdf is to concatenate ps(postscript) files containing all figures and text(use enscript to convert text to ps) to a single ps file. Run ps2pdf on this file to get a pdf file.

    enscript -p p1.txt.ps p1.txt
    enscript -p p2.txt.ps p2.txt
    cat p1.txt.ps fig1.ps p2.txt.ps fig2.ps > out.ps
    ps2pdf out.ps eexxxxxx_01.pdf


  • Put your name and roll number on the first page. For joint submissions, put all the names on the first page and submit a single email.

  • N people submitting jointly will all receive 2^[-(N-1)/2] times the graded credit for the assignment.
