Note: Homework is assigned to give you practice with the material covered in the lectures and the book.
The assigned homework problems are the MINIMUM necessary to understand the material in the course and you
should solve additional problems if you do not fully understand the material. The exams (midterms and the
final) will be based largely on the homework assignments and similar problems.
