The assigned homework problems are designed to help you learn the concepts in the text. Such understanding is necessary for you to do well on the tests and the final exam. Your objectives should be the following:
Learn the subject matter well.
Do well on your tests and exams.
Solutions to odd-numbered exercises
are given in the back of the text. You should do many of the odd-numbered exercises on your own first, without looking at the answer. Then, check your answers against the given solutions.
Utilize tutorial resources
. One or more tutors (including myself) are available during designated hours.
