Math 170B Winter 2008
FINALS WEEK OFFICE HOURS are Wed 12-1, Th 1-2 in my office, APM 6442.
Homework #9 Solutions will NOT be posted. Come to office hours next week for help.
Here I will post some partial homework solutions.
***DISCLAIMER*** These are only partial solutions and do not represent the quality of
work you should do on your homework or exams. The idea is that you come to section or
office hours to fill in the gaps. For some questions, I may simply just state the answer.
Also note that there may be mistakes - please let me know of any. I will also update the solutions
if I catch mistakes and if I do so, I will label when the solution was updated.

If any of you are interested, here are some fun problems to think about
(note: these have nothing to do with Math 170B; they are just fun!).
Phone Number Problem
Solution to the Phone Number Problem
Probability Paradox Problem
Solution to the Probability Paradox Problem
(This one is not a problem but a neat numerical calculation I did a few years ago.
This is numerical so I felt it might be relevant and that you might be interested.)
