MAT 132 Calculus II

Please try to read the assigned textbook section(s) before coming to class.

Do all exercises, turn in the bold ones from each problem set at the first recitation of the following week. This means Monday for some people, Tuesday for others, depending on what recitation section you are in. Your recitation instructor will grade the homeworks and return them to you. Only a few questions from each homework will be graded for correctness; for the rest, your instructor will just check whether you've done them. Each assignment will be worth 20 points total, with the questions graded for correctness contributing 15 points, completion of other questions 5 points.

Note on non-bold exercises: Some students tend to think these are not mandatory. This is not quite right. Non-bold exercises are often easier versions of the bold ones, so figuring them out will help you with the "mandatory" part of the homework. Besides, each exam will include one or two questions very similar or even identical to some non-bold homework exercises. Please give a close look to all non-bold exercises even if you aren't writing their solutions.

Please show all work on each exercise. Answers without explanations will receive little credit.
