Mylab Homework

The homework assignments are online homework by using Pearson's MyLab.

MyMathLab Account Setup:  Online homework will be done using MyMathLab. You will log into MyMathLab using Canvas as a portal. Please follow the INSTRUCTION. You can go to Pearson Support for technical support.

Access Codes:  To get an access code for MyMathLab, you can either (1) purchase the textbook from the UCSD Bookstore, which comes bundled with a MyMathLab access code, or (2) purchase ELECTRONIC ONLY access from the MyMathLab website. If you already have a multi-term access code (because you took Math 20D last quarter, for example) then you may use the same code.

Due Dates:   All online homework assignments are due at 11:59 PM (PST), unless specified otherwise. The due dates can be found in the calendar.

Late Submissions:  It is possible to work on your homeworks after the due date, but only for 3 days. Works that are after the due date can only earn a maximum of 75% of their total score. This penalty applies only to exercises submitted after the due date and not to those already submitted before the due date.

*Homework 1 is on Saturday allowing for delays in getting access to MyLab. However, you are strongly encouraged to have Homework 1 done by Thursday, in order to keep pace with the class. Late submissions window always open until Monday 11:59 pm.

*Homework 0 is Skills Check, and it will not be counted in the final grades.

Homework Score:  The total number of points available in MyMathLab exceeds the total number of points possible for the course homework score by 10% (of the total available in MyMathLab). As an example, if there are 200 points available in MyMathLab, then the maximum possible homework score for the class is 180 points. Thus, if your score in MyMathLab is X points, then your homework score for the class will be the minimum of X/180 and 180/180. (So it is not possible to get a course homework score above 100%, even though it is possible to earn more than 100% of the points.)

Homework Attempts:  You will be allowed 100 attempts to correctly answer the problems which are not multiple choice problems. You will be allowed ONE attempt to correctly answer the problems which are multiple choice problems.


Some problems to practice

These assignments will NOT be turned in and will NOT be graded; however, certain exam questions are based on textbook homework problems, so understanding the solutions to these problems should help you perform better on the exams.

Practice problem 1    
  • Section 1.1:  1 – 15 odd
  • Section 1.2:  1 – 21 odd
  • Section 2.2:  1 – 29 odd
  • Section 2.3:  1 – 21 odd, 25, 31, 33

Reading: Sections 1.1-1.2 and 2.2-2.3. Read Section 1.1 very carefully to be sure you understand the basic definitions that we will be using throughout the entire course. When it asks you to use "numerical integration" to approximate solutions, you may use computer software, such as Mathematica (or Wolfram|Alpha) or MATLAB to approximate the integral.

Practice problem 2    
  • Section 2.4:  1 – 25 odd, 29
  • Section 2.5:  1 – 13 odd

Reading: Sections 2.4-2.5. When it asks you to use "numerical integration" to approximate solutions, you may use computer software, such as Mathematica (or Wolfram|Alpha) or MATLAB to approximate the integral.
