Homework Mat 21A


These problems form the minimum necessary to understand the material in the course. It is your responsibility to check the homework assignments each week to see if there have been updates. Early posting of tentative homework assignments is given as a courtesy to those who want to work ahead.

Homework is generally due on Mondays (see the schedule below). Please hand your homework to the Lead TA at the end of the class. The homework will then be graded by readers as soon as possible, then returned to the boxes in the basement of Wellman Hall.

Late homework will not be accepted under any circumstances. One HW with lowest score will be dropped.

Since grading a homework assignment takes about a week, you may not get your last assignment back before the midterm. If you need that assignment to study, I suggest you make a copy of it before you hand it in.

Only even numbered problems will appear in HW. The odd problems however must be done for you to master the material. To encourage you to do the odd problems, I am planning to put one or two of the odd problems on each of the midterm and final, with only minor modification.

You do not need to use graphical utilities for any of the assigned problems. Ignore parts of problems which request graphical utilities.
