MATH 129 - Spring 2006 - Assignments
Note on exercises and problems in the book: Every question that appears under the Exercise heading in each section is important. Taking the time to answer these questions quickly will help you master the material and make the later problems easier. The only way to develop the skills you will need in this course and in later courses is through plenty of practice. Problems in the chapter reviews will also provide an opportunity to develop these essential skills. In particular, problems 1-146 in the chapter 7 review section should be completed by the end of the semester.
