Assignments

Unless otherwise noted, these assigments are selected from the online collection of exercises. The exercise number is shown in parentheses. Exercises will be added to the collection from time to time, which may change the numbering, so it is probably not a good idea to print the whole collection at the beginning of the semester. To print a particular page, be sure to select "Current Page" from your browser's print dialog or else it will probably print the whole thing.
