Homework

Homework structure

• Reading homework assignments consist of 1-3 problems per Chapter. These problems are simple comprehension-based multiple-choice or numerical-answer questions, available through and submitted via WeBWorK. Links to these problems occur throughout the textbook. We suggest making the reading assignment on lecture n due at the beginning of lecture n+1.
• Skills homework assignments consist of about 1-10 computational problems per Chapter. These problems are about standard techniques for dealing with linear systems, matrices, and vectors, and are available through and submitted via WeBWorK. Most of these problems were obtained through WeBWorK's National Problem Library. We suggest making these assignments due weekly.
• Ideas homework assignments consist of about 1-8 conceptual problems per Chapter. These problems range from simple tests of understanding of the lecture material to more difficult problems involving a substantial amount of thought and hard work, and can be found at the end of each Chapter. We suggest collecting these assignments once every two weeks.
