Students are responsible for all assigned materials and for materials covered in the classroom, whether or not such material is a part of the prescribed text. Problems will be assigned from each chapter and some will be solved by the instructor in the classroom. While such homework is not included in the computation of the final grade, students are strongly advised to complete the homework in a timely manner. Students are further encouraged to avail themselves of the solutions manual on reserve in the library and to make full use of the instructor's office hours.
