Homework questions will be assigned but not collected or graded.
There will be a homework quiz
consisting of problems very similar
to those in the homeworks.
A much larger number of problems are found in the book.
You are encouraged to team up and discuss the problems with
your friends. The importance of working on the homework problems to your
satisfaction cannot be overstressed. This is a course in which very
basic concepts are introduced and very important skills are
developed. You cannot expect to learn the subject matter properly
without trying your hand out at some problems. This is the type of
course where previous exercise and experience has a great effect on
exam performance.
