Math 581

The daily homework assignments will be collected each Monday at the beginning of class. Late homework assignments will NOT be accepted! Handed in homework assignments should reflect your best effort. In other words, scrapwork and messy assignments should not be turned in. You should plan to first figure out the proofs on scrap paper, then write a rough draft of the proof, and finally write a neat proof free of errors and easy to read to hand in. I strongly encourage you to work with others from the class on the assignments, though you need to write up your own solutions. Please make sure you understand the solutions if you work in a group! Please note that part of your assignment each day is to read the section before and after class. Before class you should skim the section to have an idea of what we are going to talk about. After class you should read the section carefully to make sure you understand what is in the section. We will not always talk about everything in the sections, but you are still required to know the material in the sections.
