    Besides the homework you should read the book. So far we have covered most of chapter 1 and the remaining will be covered during the next couple of classes. I would suggest you to solve the suplementary problems in pages 102-104.

  • Homework 2, due September 24th: p.117 Ex.16,23,24; p.127 Ex.29,30,31,32,33; p.132 Ex.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8; p.133 Ex.38.

  • Homework 3, due October 1st: p.174 Ex.21-30 (meaning 21,22,...,30); p.182 Ex. 19-26; p.190 Ex.9-13.
    Important note: Only the even numbered problems will be graded.

    As always, I recommend you to check if you know how to solve the suplementary problems in the end of chapters 1,2 and 3.

    So far we have covered all of chapter 1 and 2 but sections (1.10,2.4,2.5,2.6,2.7). In class I recommended you to read sections 2.4 and 2.5 by yourselves, and here I am doing it again. During this week, or at latest at monday the 29th, I will conclude with chapter 3 (all sections). We will continue more or less in the order of the book. However, since I treated the end of chapters 1 and 2 in more detail than in the book, we will go quite fast over the first 6 sections of this chapter.

    Note: Next wednesday, namely the 1st, I will teach but I will NOT have office hours since I will be at the time flying over the Atlantic.

  • Homework 4, due October 8st: p.190 Ex.14; p.191 Ex. 19-24; p.199 Ex.5-10 and Ex.24-26; p.200 Ex. 31-36.

    So far we have covered all of chapter 1, 2 and 3 but sections (1.10,2.4,2.5,2.6,2.7 and part of 3.3). Besides the recommendation last week, I recommended you to read section 3.3 by yourselves. We will continue now with chapter 4 in the order of the book; many of the things here I made in quite detail for R^n, so it should not be so difficult. I expect to spend 5-6 classes on this but it could be more or less.
