Chapters 20 Suggested Problems
While homework will not be graded, it is essential practice for learning
the material. Thus I have provided the accompanying list of homework problems
selected from the textbook, grouped by topic. My recommendation is to work
some of the appropriate homework problems following each lecture to ensure
that you fully understand the concepts and how to apply them. They also
form a useful basis for asking questions during section.
Coding for list:
Q = Question in textbook; P = Problem in textbook ; S = Section in textbook
