The information below is preliminary and cannot be trusted! (v)
This assignment is due at the tutorials on Thursday November 1. Here and everywhere, neatness counts!! You may be brilliant and you may mean just the right things, but if the teaching assistants will be having hard time deciphering your work they will give up and assume it is wrong.
Task 1. Read sections 1.5 through 1.7 in our textbook. Remember that reading math isn't like reading a novel! If you read a novel and miss a few details most likely you'll still understand the novel. But if you miss a few details in a math text, often you'll miss everything that follows. So reading math takes reading and rereading and rerereading and a lot of thought about what you've read.
Task 2. Solve problems 3, 8, 9, 10, and 11 on pages 41-42, but submit only your solutions of problems 8, 9, and 11.
Task 3. Solve problems 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 12, 13, and 16 on page 53-56, but submit only your solutions of problems 4, 5, 9, and 12.
