  • Collected Assignment #2 - due Wednesday, September 23
    • Section 2.1,, #50

    • Section 1.3, #46
    • Section 1.4, #82
      (Note: for #82(c), "reconcile" means "verify" - that is, make sure that your answers from parts (b) and (c) are consistent.)

    To get full credit for this assignment,  show all necessary work, and explain your reasoning in writing where appropriate. You should write at least one full sentence of explanation for each part of each problem (in addition to your computational work and answers).

    If you are unable to get a correct answer for a problem (or if you feel unsure that your answer is correct), explain what you're getting stuck on, what you were trying to do, and indicate what went wrong, didn't work, etc. Keep in mind that on written homework, I am just as interested in learning about your thought process as I am in your final answers!
