Syllabus Quiz: The Syllabus Quiz is an online quiz assigned in our Online Homework System. It has 10 question, each one multiple choice or True/False. You have one attempt per question.

All assignments will be made available on (or soon after) the first day of classes.

Textbook Exercises   (Updated 04 Jan 2016)

These assignments will not be turned in and will be not graded; however, if you seek help from the instructor or TAs, they may do these problems instead of the online problems. (Also, exam questions are often similar to textbook exercises.) This list is subject to revision during the term. Please check this page regularly for updates.

Homework 0     (No due date)
  • Section 1.1:   11, 19, 21, 24, 25, 44, 48, 55, 59, 63, 69, 76

  • Section 1.3:   7, 9, 27, 33, 39

Reading: Sections 1.1-1.3. You will not be given graded homework on these sections, but it is expected that you understand the topics. Mathematics builds on previous concepts, so without a good understanding of these sections, you will struggle with the remainder of the course.
Note: Homework 0 does not appear in the online homework. This assignment is review and will not be graded.
