Exercises for Calculus 250a: Advanced Calculus I, Fall 2006

Below is a list of the recommended exercises for the course as well as the assignment exercises to be handed in. You are expected to work through all of these exercises as we cover the section in class. This is the best way to learn the material! Don't wait until just before the exams to do the exercises.

The odd numbered exercises have answers at the back of the text and solutions in the solutions manual.

Homework solutions must be complete, showing all work. Please staple your pages, and put your name, student ID number, and section number in the upper right corner of the first page.

The assignments are to be thought of as take-home exams and should be done entirely on your own. All those involved in copying will receive a negative grade on the assignment in question. In addition, all academic offenses will be reported to the Dean's office, and may result in further penalties. Regarding Scholastic Offences and Penalties, see pp. 39-41 of the Academic Calendar or refer to Academic Penalties.
