We are using the WebAssign homework system, a commercial product linked to our textbook. The questions are taken from those at the end of the chapters, but the numbers are "personalized" so each student gets different numbers for the same question.

Most homeworks are due on Sunday at 11pm, aside from those assignments that are marked in color. Most answers are numerical, and need to be within a certain tolerance (currently set to 3%) of the correct answer. You get instant feedback as to whether the answer is correct or not. You may have up to 10 attempts at getting the answer.

Homework is a rewarding activity for those who work at it. We encourage students to talk to one another about the problems, but you must enter the answers yourself. It is extremely important to work out how an answer was obtained, because that is the key for doing well on the exams and quizzes where the vast majority of the points are earned.

Note: All WebAssign homework must be completed by 11PM on the due date. No exceptions allowed. Since the WebAssign server might have problems occasionally, be sure to start the assignments early and turn in answers steadily, rather than all on the last day. Answers can be entered individually.
