Homework
Math 103A Fall 2010


There will be (more or less) weekly homework, to be turned in by 5pm on the due date in your TA's box on the 6th floor of AP&M .

The homework will account for 20% of your grade.

The lowest homework grade will be dropped. No late homework will be accepted. The homework assignments have to be written up neatly on letter size paper. The pages have to be stapled together.

Students are allowed to discuss the homework among themselves, but are expected to turn in their own work - copying someone else's is not acceptable. UCSD's policy on Academic Integrity may be found here.

I encourage you to first work out the solutions to problems on scrap paper (do not hand this scrap paper in); once you know how to work the problem and have a good way to present your solution, write up the final draft of your homework.

Although you are required to turn in only the HW problems listed below, you are strongly advised to attempt solving as many problems from each section as possible. You are expected to do additional problems on your own until you understand the material.
