Chapter 7

Reading: sections 1-10 (I may do some of section 11, but I assigned no hw)

Homework: 7, 17, 18, 21, 30, 32, 33, 39, 44, 49, 50, 53 (additional problems which I have provided solutions for cover mathematical concepts we use - you may want to look over some of these solutions but you are not responsible for them: 11, 13, 14, 26, 29)

Chapter 8

Reading: sections 1-10

Homework: 4, 9, 10, 12ab, 22, 25, 29a, 30, 33ab, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 48, 51, 52

Comments on some of these assigned problems:

41 - Just know how to write down the integral.

19 - I have provided a solution for problem 19, but the solution is long and complicated so I am not assigning this problem. You may want to look at my solution but you are not responsible for problem 19.

5, 7a, 28, 40 - These problems were originally a part of the homework. I have removed them from the assigned homework but I left the solutions with the other scanned solutions. You may or may not want to look at some of these, but you are not responsible for them.
