Math 231 Fall 2012 Homework Assignments

How to do homework: Allow up to 5 hours for each assignment. First read the entire section containing your homework problems. Solve the problems (in a small group if you want) to the best of your ability. For odd numbered problems, verify that you have the correct answer in the back of the book. Write the solutions legibly, showing all significant steps. If you get stuck, try asking a classmate, or come to office hours, or go to the Learning Center for help.
