Homework assignments for  Math 20E, Spring  2008

Instructions for writing up the homework assignments:

1.   In order to make sure that your score gets entered correctly, you must include the following information in the upper right hand corner of the first page of your homework assignment:

 [first name] [last name]

[homework #]

[TA name]

[enrolled section #] [attended section #]     (if the two are different)

 

2.  A correct answer without steps logically leading to it earns 0 points (the same is true for grading on exams).

3.      Solutions to problems must be written up in the order in which they are assigned. If your solutions to a problem is out of order and the grader does not see it, you will not get any credit for that problem.

4.      Any solution that is too illegible or unclear for the grader to understand will not get full credit.

5.    The sheets of the homework write up must be stapled together. If loose sheets get lost, the grader is not responsible for locating them and grading the problems on the lost sheets.

6.      Academic integrity will be enforced with homework assignments as with any other course assignments. While students are expected to collaborate on the homework assignments and seek help with them, they must write up their own assignments. Any students found copying solutions from a manual or from each other and presenting them as their own work will face the consequences described in the  UCSD Academic Senate Policy on Integrity .

 Hints on  problems in 7.6: For Problem 7,  when integrating over the hemisphere, pay attention to the symmetry of the components of the vector field with respect to the hemisphere-- an early awareness of these will save you lots of time. For problem 17, the recommendation is to set up the surface integral in rectangular coordinates, then do a change of variables and use polar coordinates, just as in problem 6.2.29 with the ellipse replacing the ellipsoid.
