    HOMEWORK

    You are responsible for mastering the problems from the homework assignment but you do not have to write these up or turn them in. Some parts of the homework assignments will also be available through the MyMathLab system. I encourage you to do the homework in MyMathLab! This will increase your proficiency in the course material and will provide valuable feedback and practice on core questions. The MyMathLab system will automatically grade your homework but we will not use these grades in any way. They are made available entirely for your own benefit.

    Here are the INSTRUCTIONS on how to login to the MyMathLab system and access our course materials.
