Math 246: Homework Assignments

Unless announced otherwise, homework will be due on Thursday each week in class.
  • You are encouraged to work with other students on the assignments,but each student must write up the answers in her or his own words.
  • Reading the textbook is required, NOT optional. Your chances of getting a good grade in this course are infinitesimally small unless you read the textbook in addition to attending lectures.
