Schedule / Assignments:

Note:  All assignments are due at the beginning of class (8:00am) on the specified day.  The section numbers, page numbers, and problem numbers correspond to those in the 4th edition of the textbook.

Please show all of your work.  A correct answer without proper supporting work is worth zero credit.

Honor code:

The honor code will be strictly enforced on all assignments.   Acceptable collaboration on homework is limited to discussion among peers after which each individual must complete his or her assignment on his or her own.  I.e., when you are writing up your solutions, you should not be looking at any notes developed in discussion of the problems with another student.  Suspiciously similar assignments will be considered in violation of the honor code and treated accordingly.
