Homework now due Tuesday, November 19.
It is not enough just to
give the answers in these problems, or even give numerical
evidence. You need to explain how you got your answers and
how you know they are right.
10.1 #22,24,30,58; 10.2 #8,18,20,44,54a; 10.4 #4,6,22,46; 10.3 #2,6
The homework was graded as follows. Each problem was worth 5 or 10
points; total 120 points. The points for each problem were:
10.1 #22(10),24(5),30(10),58(10); 10.2 #8(5),18(10),20(10),44(10),54a(5);
10.4 #4(5),6(10),22(5),46(10); 10.3 #2(5),6(10)

Homework due Thursday, October 26:
That was supposed to be Thursday, October 24. However, if you
were misled by the date, you can get the worksheet to me by
Saturday the 26th. (Which means: in physical - printed or
floppy - form to me Friday or by e-mail Saturday.)
Do
Prof. McLeod's worksheet on Numerical Integration,
replacing the function f he uses with the function f(x)=ln(x) on the
interval x=1..2. Hand in the worksheet electronically or a printout
of it. Be sure to answer questions 1,2,4,5 for f(x)=ln(x) on the
interval [1,2]. (You don't need to do any other functions.)
I suggest you use this worksheet:
