February, 2008
Each problem set reflects a week's worth of learning, and thus consists of more problems than can easily be done in a day or two. |
Your solutions should be quite complete, and should go beyond anything you might see in a solution manual. |
The text encourages you to think! Most hw problems will be different from examples done in class or in the book. Take time to think about what you've learned. |
Due Tuesday 1/29
PS 1: Individual Assignment
Section 1.1: 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 18, 21, 37, 38

Note: For those of you who've had some Calculus before: It is crucial that you master the graphical idea of the derivative, as this is what the derivative really is. Please only use ideas learned so far in this class, even if you've learned ways that seem simpler in some other class. (Don't worry, we'll get there too, when the time is right and we're ready to see where it all comes from.)
Due Tuesday 2/12
PS 3: Individual Assignment
Note: Again, for those of you've learned a bit of Calculus before: continue to only use ideas we've learned in this class so far to work on these problems, as the intent is to help you really make sense of what's going on with the derivative.Section 1.5: 23, 25, 30, 35, 46
