The problems that I would like you to master for this week’s homework are:

• 2.6: 1-44 (all odds)
• 2.7: 9-40 (all odd)
• 3.1: 1-50 (all odds)
• 3.2: 1-40 (all odds)
• 3.3: 1-59 (all odds)

This homework will be due on Wednesday, February 1st at the end of class.  We will (as usual) have a quiz over this material the same night, and I encourage you to complete you homework as thoroughly as possible so that you understand all of the problems and are able to replicate the calculations and procedures on the quiz.  Everybody is doing a really great job so far, so keep it up!  As always, we’ll begin on Wednesday by taking questions, so if there are any problems on the homework that you didn’t understand or couldn’t complete, be sure to ask for help on Wednesday night.

For homework #2, please complete the following problems:

• Section 2.1 #47-76 (all odds)
• Section 2.2 #1,2,4 and 5
• Section  2.3 #1-26 (all odds)
• Section 2.4 #1-34 (all odds)
• Section 2.5 #1-40 (all odds)

This homework will be due next Wednesday (the 25th) and we will have quiz #2 on the same night.  I realize that we’ve only covered sections 2.1 and 2.2, but I assign the homework early so that students may have the choice of beginning it early and working ahead. We will complete sections 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 on Monday night after discussing the quiz and taking questions over the previous material. Finally, as a reminder, I do allow students to use their homework while taking the quizzes, so a great way to improve your quiz scores is to complete your homework entirely and to show your work (i.e. all of the steps you use in your calculations) in a detailed fashion.

For homework #1, please complete the following problems:

• Section 1.1  #1-30 (all odds)
• Section 1.2  #1-26 (all odds)
• Section 1.3 #1-30 (all odds)
• Section 1.4  #1-30 (all odds)
• Section 1.5  #1-30 (all odds)
• Section 1.6  #1-24 (all odds) and 31, 35, 51 and 59
• Section 1.7  #5-30 (all odds)
• Section 1.9  #1-16 (all odds) and #30-54 (all odds)

This homework is due at the end of class on Wednesday (the 18th).  We will also have a quiz over the above material the same night.  Remember, I will allow you to use your homework as a reference when taking the quiz, so it is in your best interest to make your homework as detailed and complete as possible.  Have a good holiday!
