Homework

Problem sets will be posted here. All problem sets will be submitted online via Gradescope. If I say that a problem set is on the “Wednesday night,” this means that the hard deadline is 2am on the following Thursday morning.

All problem numbers are from Stewart, 7th edition. __ Problems marked “self-check” are not to be handed in.__ I’ve included them as suggestions for additional practice; usually they are odd-numbered and you can check your answer in the back of the book. I will sometimes put self-check problems on exams, so that some problems will already be familiar.

  • Course survey and Gradescope instructions. Use this to practice submitting on the Gradescope system.
