Only problems not marked by (*) should be turned in. (starred problems are good
training, and possible test leads).
Homework is due at the begining of Thursday's class, following the week it was
assigned.
No late homework will be accepted after solutions are posted

                 Class meets TTh 11:00-12:15 in DSH 224
Solutions for textbook problems  can be found at:
