A pset is a vulgar slang word referring to MIT's weekly problem sets. As the atomic bomb is to dynamite, a pset is to homework at other "normal" colleges.

MIT's verb for doing a problem set, or set of homework problems that are by far the most difficult in the world. MIT is hard, so they made up a verb for doing homework. Wow. All courses at MIT are also referred to as numbers.
