Assignments
- Information about getting access to the
WebAssign online homework system. (WebAssign for this course will be available for sign-up starting August 30.)
- The WebAssign class key for this section is: holycross 4757 3108 (the holycross is all lower case, no space)
- Problem Set 1 -- Due: Friday, February 2
- Part A in WebAssign
- Part B: Section 5.1/26,27,64; Section 5.2/82; Extra Credit: Section 5.2/86 (Hint: Draw
the area that would be computed by the integral and split it into two non-overlapping
pieces. The areas of those pieces should be the two terms on the right of the equation.)
- Problem Set 2 -- Due: Friday, February 9
- Part A in WebAssign
- Part B: Section 5.5/44,45; Section 5.4/10,12,62
- Problem Set 3 -- Due: Friday, February 23
- Part A in WebAssign
- Part B: Section 5.7/109; Section 6.1/19 (Hint: subdivide the region);
Section 6.3/12, 58.
- Problem Set 4 -- Due: Friday, March 2
- Part A in WebAssign
- Part B: Section 6.4/42,44,46; Section 7.1/88 (Hint: read the problem carefully -- it's
not hard if you just do what the authors tell you to do);
- Problem Set 5 -- Due: Friday, March 23
- Part A in WebAssign (Note: There are not many problems this time, but they are all long and "tricky/picky"
about numerical coefficients, etc. I have given everyone five tries rather than the usual three tries
this time)
- Part B: Section 7.2/63,65,79; Section 7.3/34,36.
- Problem Set 6 -- Due: Friday, April 6
- Part A in WebAssign (Note: I have again given everyone five tries on each problem)
- Part B: Section 7.5/59,61,62; Section 7.6/34.
- Problem Set 7 -- Due: Friday, April 20
- Part A in WebAssign (Note: This one has three tries per problem again. Plan
your work accordingly!)
- Part B: Section 7.8/2, 20, 21 (but on 20 and 21, change the instructions to say ``use the table of standard normal curve areas distributed in class'' instead of ``integrate numerically'');
Section 4.5/47; Section 5.9/54. Here's another copy:
Table of normal curve areas
- Problem Set 8 -- Due: Friday, April 27
- Part A in WebAssign (Note: This one has three tries per problem again. Plan
your work accordingly!)
- Part B: Section 9.2/17 parts b and c (Note: part a is essentially the definition of "paying back continuously" so you should just use that differential equation. What is going on here is that you have
to imagine small amounts of money being taken out of Sam's bank account as the payments all the time,
rather than him sending in monthly payments as we discussed in class.), 18. Section 10.2/51 (Hint:
to understand what is going on, add up the remaining portions of all the doses left in the
bloodstream on the Nth day, and note that you have a finite geometric series. Then
think what happens as N -> infinity.

- Note: The Greek phrase appearing next to the heading of this page is one traditional rendering of
the reported inscription over the entrance to Plato's Academy in Athens
(founded about 387 BCE). It means (roughly) Let no one ignorant of geometry enter.
This is a reflection of the foundational role of geometry in Plato's ideas about knowledge and education.
