  • Students should solve online HW posted on MyMathLab website.

    The online HW is intended to keep you current on class material, but is not extensive. It is due as indicated on website (usually on Sundays with exception of the week before exams) also as marked in the Course calendar


  • Students should also study using the list of problems below which comes mostly from 2011 OSU Mathematics Department Study Guide for MTH 254 by Harold Parks but is not arranged in the same order.

    The problems below give you additional practice of writing out the solutions. If you have trouble with the material, please bring your questions to the recitation and/or GTA's office hours.
    The lines below separate the sections for which online HW is assigned together.
