Last update made by D. Groisser Fri Aug 30 18:15:12 EDT 2013

    You are required to do all of the problems below. You will not be required to hand them all in;
    I will announce later which ones you do have to hand in. Don’t make the mistake of thinking
    that I’m collecting only the problems I think are important.

    The “due date” above is the date that your written-up problems should be handed in, but don’t
    wait to get started on the assignment. You should always get started on problems as soon as we
    cover the relevant material in class.

    • A: Rosenlicht pp. 12-13/ 5a,6,7. Of these, hand in only 7b,c,e,f.

    • B: Click here for non-book problems. Of these, hand in only B1(b), B2, B5, and B7.
      For B2, I’m not requiring formal proofs of your answers, but do at least draw a picture or
      pictures in R2 to indicate why the answers are what you say they are.

    • C: Read the handouts “Sets and Functions” and “Difference Between Inverse Functions
      and Inverse Images” posted on the Miscellaneous Handouts page. You should be able to
      do this quickly, since we’ve covered most of this in class. If you are not familiar with
      equivalence relations, you should also read the handout “Equivalence Relations”.
