HOMEWORK
MTH 251 — Fall 2008
ALL PROBLEMS GIVEN BY NUMBER ARE FROM THE TEXT
The Exercises at the end of each section in MHG are an excellent skills
check, and the Check your Understanding questions at the end of each
chapter are an excellent review. These problems will not be listed separately
below, but you should attempt as many of them as you feel is appropriate.
You are strongly encouraged to attempt at least one problem in each group of
similar problems. Turn in only the solutions to the problems assigned below,
but seek help if you have any questions on any of the problems in the book.
