Homework

 

This syllabus is subject to CHANGE. Any changes will be announced in class and on this course web page as the semester progresses.

Problems will be graded for the method, not just the answers (for the odd-numbered problems the answers are in the back of the book). Each assignment includes problems to hand in, and other problems to work on but not hand in. It is suggested that you start by doing the odd-numbered problems and checking your answers. If your answers agree, then you can be confident that you know how to do the problems. If your answers disagree, check first to see that your answers are actually different (not the same things expressed differently), then try to find your error (consulting with someone else is often helpful in this situation).

Hand in homework during the Friday class. (Those with Tuesday, Thursday classes should hand their homework in on Thursdays i.e. a day earlier than the dates below.) Please write neatly so your grader does not have to guess your answer. Homework will be returned to you the following week. Some solutions will be posted on the course website (on this page). You may consult with others in doing homework, provided that you write up the solution yourself, and indicate on your homework paper the names of everyone you consulted.
