First Homework Assignment (Sections 1.1 and 1.2)

Second Homework Assignment (Sections 1.3 and 1.4)

Third Homework Assignment (Sections 1.5 and 1.6)

Fourth Homework Assignment (Sections 1.9 and 2.1)

Fifth Homework Assignment (Sections 2.2 and 2.3) This assignment is due wednesday, october 3^rd. You can drop it anytime during the day in my mailbox in Altgeld 250, or bring it to the review session (see below).

First Hour Exam

Both sections will have the first exam on Thursday, October the 4^th, during their corresponding class periods. This exam will cover all the sections we studied from chapters 1 and 2. The review session will be held wednesday, October the 3^rd at 7 PM in the Mechanical Engeneering Building, in room 218. For now, here's a review sheet in PDF format ( requires Acrobat Reader) prepared by the author of the book. We skipped some sections, so some concepts shouldn't look so familiar (like the stuff about linear transformations)... But it's a good start. Also, here's a copy of that practice exam I handed out in class, with the solutions.

Sixth Homework Assignment (Sections 3.1 and 3.2)

Seventh Homework Assignment (Sections 3.3 and 4.1)

Eighth Homework Assignment (Sections 4.2 and first part of 4.3)

Ninth Homework Assignment (Sections 4.3 and 4.5)

Tenth Homework Assignment (Sections 4.6 and 5.1)

Second Hour Exam

Both sections will have their second hour exam on thursday, November the 15^th, during their corresponding class periods. The exam will cover chapters 3 and 4 (only the sections we actually did in class), but this doesn't mean that you won't be required to know the material from previous sections. The review session will take place on wednesday (11/14) at 6 P.M. in room 245 in Altgeld Hall.

Eleventh Homework Assignment (Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 6.1)

Third Hour Exam

Both sections will have their third and last hour exam on thursday, December the 6^th, during their corresponding class periods. This exam will cover sections 5.1 to 5.3 and 6.1 and 6.2. The review session will be wednesday, December the 5^th, at 6 P.M. in Everitt Lab, in room 165. Meanwhile, here's a review sheet that might be useful, and a practice exam with solutions. Remember that we didn't cover exactly the same material this review covers... You should be able to solve problems 2 (this material was covered in last exam, so it won't appear on this exam), 3a, 4, 5 and 6.

Final Exam

The final exam is scheduled for Thursday, December the 13^th, from 8 to 11 AM for section N2, and Wednesday, December 12th, from 1:30 to 4:30 for section P2, in our usual classrooms: Altgeld 141 for section N2, and Altgeld 447 for section P2. As it was mentioned at the beginning of the term, this date is unchangeable. If you have any conflict, please let me know ASAP. Only a dean in your college can excuse you from this exam. It will cover all the sections we saw in class. There is a review session on tuesday, december the 11^th, in room 245 in Altgeld Hall. I will be answering as many questions as possible, and handing out copies of this practice final exam, with the solutions, and a review sheet.
