MATE 3063 practice

Homework will be due weekly. How I mark it: short quiz will be given at random times (on average, weekly). It often consists of two or three problems, at least one of which corresponds to one of the assigned exercises. On that quiz problem, the homework solution will help improve the mark, unless there is clearly no relation between the two solutions. Quiz will usually bear on the last two homework sets handed in, and any material at least as recent covered in class. Often one problem will correspond to an example, or a step of proof done in class. This is an incentive to take notes and study them. Quiz/homework counts for one third of the grade.
On homework, present your work neatly, and write your name, course, and homework number. Use pencil. Work which is sloppy or evidently rushed will not be graded.

Problems which are from the text are to be numbered by the posted number first, followed by the corresponding number in the text, between parentheses. So if for problem 53 you chose exercise 4 from the text:

53 (exercise 4) ...

Set 1: due 22/8.
Set 2: due 5/9.
Set 3: due 12/9.
Set 4: due 19/9.
Set 5: practice.
Set 6: due 17/10.
Set 7: due 24/10.
Set 8: due 31/10.
Set 9: due 5/11.
Set 10: due 21/11.
Set 11: due 26/11.
Set 12: practice.
