The homework listed here is not for credit, you do not have to turn it in. Your performance is evaluated based on attendance, quiz and Webwork scores, test scores, and the final. (See the syllabus for details.) The list below indicates only what kind of problems you want to try out in preparation for the mentioned quizzes and exams. I believe the problems listed with a dash to be similar. If you can solve one of them easily, you should be able to answer the other ones as well. If you are having difficulties, you want to try more of the same kind. Some exercises have their answers at the end of the textbook. Feel free to contact me (outside class) if you need help.
