HOMEWORK


Homework assignments and their due dates can be found below.
READ THE BOOK!!!!
You are encouraged to discuss homework problem together. However, each student must write up the homework individually. You are expected to be able to reproduce all work on your own. In particular, in the exams I will assume that you are absolutely comfortable with all the homework assignments!
NOTE: in calculating your total homework grade, I will ignore the lowest score.
