Homework
There will be nine problem
sets over the course of the quarter. Problems range in
difficulty from routine to more challenging. Completed solutions
are to be handed in at the beginning of class on Friday (with
the first homework due on October 6), and a sample of the
problems will be graded and returned to you in the following
week.
No late homework will be accepted.
However, your lowest homework score will be dropped when
computing your grade.
Put the following information in the upper right hand corner of
the first page:
Your Name
Math 110A, Homework # number.
On each additional page, put your name in the upper right-hand
corner. Work single-sided, that is, write on only one side of
each sheet of paper. STAPLE any homework that is more than one
page long. Remove all perforation before submitting. Write
legibly. Label the chapter + section number as well as the
problem number (e.g., 2.3 #10).
Homework that fails to meet the above requirements will be
marked "Unacceptable'' and returned unread.
