Homework

There will be five homework assignments during the semester. I don't think we'll do the style of tutorial-review grading that I tried last semester. Instead let's just do more traditional submit-grade-return :-)

Homework 1: Due Feb 13.
Homework 2: Questions 2, 16, 25, 28. Due March 14.
Homework 3: Section 6.1, Questions 2, 9, 10. Due April 18.
Homework 4: Section 6.2, 21, 22 and Qu 6 from the Spring 2007 Comp. Due April 30. Solutions to the homework

Quizzes

Every week except for exam weeks I will give a short quiz at the start of class Friday. The quiz covers only definitions and statements of results, and is intended to help keep on up to date with key statements and concepts. There will be more than 10 quizzes, and I will drop your lowest scores.
