Include all of your analysis and discussion in an .ipynb file
and submit the file through Blackboard. The name of the
file you submit should be lastname_firstname_AS04.ipynb.
Do not clear your results after your last run so that I will be
able to see your results without rerunning your file.

If you collaborate with anyone on this assignment, be sure to
follow the collaboration guidelines in the syllabus including
listing with whom you collaborated in your ipynb file.
While collaboration is fine, DO NOT submit exactly the same
file as your collaborations. Your code and your discussion must
be your own. It is fine if you base your code on pseudocode
in the textbook.
