For each lecture, the table below lists a reading assignment, the lecture topics (linked to lecture notes), and homework problems for that reading and lecture. Occasionally, one or more of the sections listed for reading will not be covered in lecture, but you will still be responsible for all sections listed.
The homework problems should be completed within a day or two of the relevant lecture. Your solutions will not be collected; however, the quiz on Friday will frequently be based on one or more of these problems. For additional practice, do additional problems from the text. Use of a solutions manual or solutions posted online to 'do' the homework will only trap you into a lack of practice, which will likely lead to a lack of success on quizzes and exams.
The problem numbers are written with the chapter number first, followed by a dash, and then the list of problems from the chapter. Problems listed from more than one chapter are separated by a semicolon.
