Fall 2017

Homework

Note:  Homework assignments will also be given in class.  This page is meant to mostly to be a backup, and no promises are made as to whether or not it will be current.  Note that homework sets might have different weights and there may be more than one homework set on any given topic or section.  See the grade page for more information.  I will keep all of the extended (20 point) homework problem sets and the best 29 regular homework/activity problem sets (note that the activity assignments are in-class and so are not on this page).  I expect that there will be 37 regular homework/activity problem sets.
