Homework Assignments

All homework assignments are taken from the exercises in Applied Calculus for the Managerial, Life, and Social Sciences: a brief approach, 8th Edition by S.T. Tan. It is your responsibility to make sure you have the correct questions for each homework set and that each set is in the correct format.

Format

  1. Be sure to put your name on each set.
  2. If a set has multiple pages, staple them together.
  3. Do not staple multiple sets together.
  4. Make sure your handwriting is legible, and clearly indicate your answers.
  5. For each question, copy out the entire question from the textbook. Then show your work, and give your answer.
