MATH 241: Homework

Spring 1998, Section 0101, Professor Ron Lipsman

General Remarks

The problems listed here are the minimum amount you should do to acquire proficiency in the material of this course. Plain problem numbers refer to Calculus with Analytic Geometry, Fifth Edition, by Robert Ellis and Denny Gulick (Saunders College Publishing, Orlando, 1994). Problems labeled as MVC refer to Multivariable Calculus and Mathematica, with Applications to Geometry and Physics, by Kevin Coombes, Ronald Lipsman, and Jonathan Rosenberg (TELOS/Springer-Verlag New York, 1998). Problems marked in bold italic are to be turned in by the corresponding ``due date''. Those from MVC must be solved using Mathematica; those from EG may be solved by hand or using Mathematica. Problems marked with a plus sign (+) provide practice in basic skills. In general, EG contains more than one problem of each type. You should do as many problems of each type as it takes to convince yourself that you have mastered the skill. Problems on exams will be written in a way that assumes you have acquired all the basic skills.
