Note that there might be more than one correct answer for
any given question.

REVISION: 11/29/13.
Dates indicate
homework assigned in lecture that day. Dates for future assignments
are tentative, and subject to change.
Skimming through the main
ideas in a section shortly before that section is covered in class
should help you understand the lecture -- try it!
Also, see
the links to practice quizzes/tests
on my website.
08/22/13 |
Read Course Information Sheet and make a note of the dates of the tests. Read lecture notes & Sec 1.1 & do: 2, 11-13, 16, 17. Try some practice quizzes. |

Read lecture notes & do Sec 1.1: 19, 22, 26, 31, 33, 38, 45, 46, 50. Try some practice quizzes. |

I'll stop writing this, but it goes without saying on all the assignments, through end of semester. By this time, you have seen quite a few theorems. It is best NOT to memorize the theorems, but to do enough of the homework that the results of the theorems become known to you, though perhaps with different wording or using pictures. |
