Each exercise requires about an hour to complete. It pays to do each assigned exercise carefully, thoroughly and on time, because concepts and skills introduced in early exercises will be applied again in later exercises. In general, the early exercises are short and easy, while the later exercises are longer, require more careful reasoning, and, frankly, are more fun. It is best to read the assigned chapters of Thurman and Lectures for the week for 3377 before starting the 3177 exercises. Each Pipkin exercise assumes that you have a good grasp of the concepts presented in the coordinated lecture assignments for the week.
Cooperative work is encouraged.
You may discuss these exercises with your classmates, and you may seek and receive help from them. However, you must complete all parts of every exercise yourself. Do not copy someone else's answer, but use that insight to answer the question your own way, in your own words. All help must be acknowledged. At the top of each exercise, you must write the names of the people from whom you received help or with whom you discussed parts of the exercise.
