HOMEWORK
MTH 255H - Winter 2006

Ground Rules

Problems given by number refer to the optional text, Multivariable Calculus, by McCallum, Hughes Hallett, Gleason, et al (MHG). A copy of this text is on reserve in the library. Other problems are links to PDF files.

It is your job to explain your work to me clearly and completely. Here are some guidelines:

• Write legibly;
• Explain at least briefly what you're trying to do, don't just do it;
• Use complete sentences;
• Equations should (mostly) be contained in sentences.

You may discuss homework problems with anyone you wish, but should explicitly acknowledge having done so.

Assignments

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. Solutions should not be turned in, but seek help if you have any questions.
