Homework to accompany each day's lecture is assigned in
Lecture
and homework schedule. While the
regular homework is not collected or graded, it is essential that you do it regularly. If you happen to be a reincarnation of Karl Friedrich Gauss, you can probably skip the homework. If, on the other hand, you are not, do your homework. End of sermon. Most of the assigned problems are odd-numbered exercises from the textbook. The answers to most such problems are given at the end of the book, so you can check your work for correctness. For any of the homework problems, you are welcome to consult me. I will be happy to work with you on exercises that are causing you trouble. You should also be aware that a solutions manual for the textbook is available. Another reason to do the homework is that many of the exam questions will be chosen to strongly resemble problems from the homework. |

Webwork is a program developed at the University of Rochester, which permits homework to be assigned
and answered online. Each student will receive individualized problems to work and answer online. These will be graded, and will count as part of the final grade. There will be 10 problem sets, of which the best 9 will count. Webwork assignment dates are given in the Lecture and homework schedule. Access to your webwork problems, and extrensive documentation on how to use the webwork system, is available at Mathematics department webwork page. It is important to note that a webwork asignment is available for completion only between its "open" and "close" dates. There is no provision in the software to make problems sets available again once closed. If you do not finish a webwork set on time, whatever grade (including "0") attained by the close date will remain, and will be used in calculating your webwork grade. |
