SUGGESTED HOMEWORK PROBLEMS
April 2011
Suggested weekly homework problems are posted here. Your
instructor may assign all of or some of the suggested homework
problems given below, and also may assign other homework problems
not on this list. Doing the homework problems is essential
in order to do well in the course. Your instructor may use either
or both of the following means to check that you understand how to
solve the homework problems:
- give quizzes based on assigned homework;
- collect and grade handwritten homework assignments.
These problems are from the textbook
Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 7th edition,
by James Stewart. Answers to the odd-numbered problems are
given in the back of the text, and solutions are in the Student
Solutions Manual. If you have an older edition of the textbook,
you will have to find out the corresponding textbook sections and question numbers
yourself, perhaps by borrowing the current edition from a friend
and transferring the information to your textbook.
The “Weeks” here correspond to those given in the
course outline.
