IMPORTANT!!! Correction for Project 1.
There has been a typo in Project 1. The value of beta that you use for Tasks 6 and 7 should be beta=0.75 and NOT beta=0.25, otherwise it is much more difficult to solve Task 7. If you have anyway completed the assignment using beta=0.25 then it will still be accepted but you are encouraged to use the value of 0.75 (for which the hint makes sense).
I apologize for the inconvenience that possbly caused by this typo.
