March, 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. |

Note: This problem set may look short, but don't let it fool you! The problems from Section 4.3 can take a very long time, even with all the adjustments I've made to it over the years. In many cases, most of the work is in setting up the problem -- and that's the most important part. Start early and work at it for several days before asking for help. That being said, do come to office hours for help -- I can guarantee that I won't be able to go over very many of them in class!Section 4.3: 7, 9, 11, 12, 18, 23, 26, 30
