Homework assignments:
Homework will be collected and graded in Discussion sections. It is
therefore critical that you attend Discussion sections! Remember that you
are responsible for all the material covered in the assigned reading, as well
as in lecture.
The homework assignments will always be posted on this page. Nothing will be
handed out in class. The problems will mostly be taken from the review
sections at the back of each Unit in the textbook.
