## Hw 1

*After a second thought, I give you an extention of one week more for the due date of homeowork 1.*

You will do an individual final project. The final project will include: Motivations, Problem formulation, Data description, Analysis, and Conclusion. To prepare the project, in homework 1, think about "Motivations and Why" and write down your answers using *HackMD*, *ppt*, or *google slides*. 

In this homework, please write down: 
(1) Motivations and Why 
(2) the link of your project 
(3) keywords. 

Finally, submit your slides in pdf to e3.
