Week 3:

Due Tuesday, September 6: Read section 3.2 and do the practice problems.

Due Thursday, September 8: Read section 3.3 and do the practice problems. QUIZ The quiz will consist of 2 or 3 problems which are very similar to practice problems that have been assigned (from sections 2.2 - 2.5, 3.1 - 3.3). Remember that you can check the answers to the practice problems in the book. I will grade according to our grading criteria (see also course grading criteria):
• The work is factually correct, or nearly so, with only minor, inconsequential flaws.
• The work addresses the specific question or problem that was posed. It is focused, detailed, and precise. Key points are emphasized. There are no irrelevant or distracting points.
• The work could be used to teach a student: either a child or another college student, whichever is most appropriate.
• The work is clear, convincing, and logical. An explanation should be convincing to a skeptic and should not require the reader to make a leap of faith.
• Clear, complete sentences are used. Mathematical terms and symbols are used correctly. If applicable, supporting pictures, diagrams, and/or equations are used appropriately and as needed.
• The work is coherent.
