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: Read Rosenlicht, all of Chapter II.

• B: Read the handout “One-to-one and onto: What you are really doing when you solve
  equations” posted on the Miscellaneous Handouts page. As mentioned in class, this relates
  to what the process of solving equations has to do with existence/uniqueness issues.

• C: Rosenlicht pp. 29–31/ 4a (figure out a way to do this that does not require any division
  computations and does not use a calculator), 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 (if you find part (c) much harder
  than (a) or (b), you are not going crazy!), 11, 13, 14, 15.

  Of the problems above, hand in only 4a, 5bc, 10abc, 11, 13, 14.
