* #52 takes some thought. You may find the discussion "Why the ratio test works" a good place to start. If you're still stuck, come ask me questions before class on Monday.
Due Monday 5/1
PS 13: This assignment will not be collected, but it will be covered on the exam.
Section 11.4: 6, 7, 10, 12, 19, 20, 23, 26, 31
Note: If you want to spend less time on the take-home final, I'd suggest doing some or all of the following problems before I hand it out. That way, you'll already have absorbed a lot of the material in Section 11.5 (and 11.6 and 11.7 as well, if you do those problems) which will mean that when you have problems on those sections on the final, you won't be having to learn the material for the first time at the same time as working on final-level questions. I'm fairly sure that you will save more time during finals week than you will lose this week if you work on these problems now.
Section 11.5: 1, 3, 5, 13, 17, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32
Section 11.6: 5, 6, 10, 11
Section 11.7: 4, 5, 7
