Math 300 Fall 2018
Dr. R. Field

I will be adding problems to future Chapters as we get to them.  Due to the nature of WeBWorK, the written homework (these) and the online homework (WeBWorK) will generally cover slightly different material with the online tending towards the computational and the written tending towards the conceptual/proof based.  These problems will not be handed in for a grade, but they will be the basis of our weekly quiz (most Fridays), so be sure to do them!  Each date denotes problems that you should be able to do by the end of class on that date.  The due dates are on separate lines
