  Note: For question 5, place your version of Lagrange.m in a single directory (nothing else in this directory ) with the name your_userid_your_student_id. Then zip up this directory using zip -r your_userid_your_student_id your_userid_your_student_id. Mail the file your_userid_your_student_id.zip to j39lee@math.uwaterloo.ca by 1:30 pm on the due date. Your code will be subject to black box testing.
