Read Chapter 2 of the text.
The following problems give you practice with the concepts in Chapter 2. I have tried to pick an interesting collection of problems. Some are very easy, some hard; some may be done in class. Some (but not most) will be handed in. Some will turn up (perhaps modified a bit) on exams.
Note: there are answers to most odd-numbered problems in the back
of the book.
Warning: It has been reported to me that there are
lots of misprints .
I will ask you to hand in some of these problems for a grade later. I may also assign additional problems. Some of these problems may form the basis of in-class presentations.
