Math 100A- Homework Assignments.

Please drop off your HW in the HW box assigned to this course and located on the 6th floor of the AP&M building (to the right as you exit the elevators) every Friday by 5:00pm. The homework assignments have to be written up neatly on letter size paper. The pages have to be stapled together. Students are allowed to discuss the homework among themselves, but are expected to turn in their own work — copying someone else's is not acceptable. No late HW will be accepted. Homework scores will contribute 20% to the final grade.

Although you are required to turn in only the HW problems listed below, you are strongly advised to attempt solving as many problems from each section as possible.
