Homework

There are two types of homework assignments: Online homework submitted through WebAssign and offline homework from the textbook. The offline homework from the textbook is not to be turned in and will not be graded. The due dates given for the offline homework are given as an indication of when they should be done. The purpose of the offline homework assignments is to provide more exercises for practice and understanding. Additionally, exam questions may be based on textbook questions.

Online Homework

Online homework will be done using WebAssign. WebAssign can be accessed from within TritonEd under "Tools".
If you enrolled after the first day of classes, it might take a day or two before you make it into the system.

  • To get an access code for WebAssign, you can either (1) purchase the textbook from the UCSD Bookstore, which comes bundled with a multi-term WebAssign access code, or (2) purchase ELECTRONIC ONLY access from the WebAssign website (after first logging in through TritonEd).
  • If you already have a multi-term access code to this textbook (because you took Math 20C before, for example) then you may use the same code. If you were using a different username, then you must link your accounts. You can do this by clicking on "My Options" (in the upper right) and then selecting the "Accounts" tab.
  • Homework is due at 11:00 P.M.
  • Due dates are posted in WebAssign.
  • Homework may not be submitted after the due date.

Textbook Homework

These assignments will not be turned in and will be not graded; however, certain exam questions are based on textbook homework problems, so understanding the solutions to these problems should help you perform better on the exams. The due dates given for the offline homework are given as an indication of when they should be done, but does not indicate any actual deadline.

This list is subject to revision during the term. Please check regularly for updates.
