Due date: Wed. 9/10/14


Last update made by D. Groisser Sat Sept 6 16:33 EDT 2014

    You are required to do all of the problems below. You will not be required to hand them all in. I have indicated below which ones you do have to hand in on the due-date. 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, 6-9. Of these, hand in only 6, 7b,c,e,f.
    • B: Click here for non-book problems (updated 9/3/14). 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”.
