Assignments

The homework assignments give you a chance to practice the math and knoweldge skill you've read about in the text book and heard in class. The point of the homework is to help you learn these concepts. You can certainly ignore this, and it will definitely lower your grade by a full letter, but I strongly advice you complete the homework. Doing so will ensure that you can answer the questions that will appear on the midterm and final exams.

The last 30 minutes of each lecture will be devoted to problem solving and programming lab work. Thus, if you are stuck on a problem, this is an excellent place to get your questions answered without having to go to additional office hours.

Homeworks are always due at the beginning of class on the day they are specified on the schedule. Late homework is not accepted without prior permission from the professor.

I also suggest doing problems 16, 35, and 38 from the 4th edition (15, 29, and 31 from the 3rd edition) because they will help you have a better understanding of the concepts in the chapter. However, you do not need to turn in these extra problems for grading.
