Online Homework

Online homework will be done through WebWork, a service hosted by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and generously funded by W.H. Freeman and Company (the publisher of our textbook). This service is provided free to the students, so there is nothing additional you have to pay for.

Follow this link to log into WebWork.

All homework must be completed by the due date. Answers will be made available after the due date, so no late submissions will be accepted.

Follow this link for information about using WebWork.

Written Homework

These assignments will not be turned in and will be not graded; however, if you seek help from the instructor or TAs, they will do these problems, not the online homework problems.

Even-numbered problems are typically similar to the preceding odd-numbered problem, so you are encouraged to work the preceding odd-numbered problem first and check your answer to make sure you are on the right track.
