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. Our 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.
