Homework
I expect everyone to read the book carefully before the lecture and to do all the assigned problems. If not, you may miss some important things.
Hand-in homework should be neatly written (or typed), not squeezed into a small space, and stapled (paper clips and paper folds don't work). Also, please remove all stubs if you tear out pages from a spiral binder.

Test III: Fri., Dec. 5
Final exam: Mon., December 15, 5:40-7:40 p.m., in LH-007.
