MTH 111 Mathematics as a Human Pursuit Calendar Semester 091

Write out complete answers NEATLY and CLEARLY.

Number each exercise to the left.
Work only one problem across the page -- i.e. problems should proceed form top to bottom.
You must show your work! Correct mathematical notation must be used.  Partial credit is given when work is shown even if answer is incorrect. However, correct answers without any work shown will in general be given no credit.
If the problem is a computation leading to a final answer, box the answer.
Use pencil and eraser  -- do not scratch out work.

Start homework early and see me for help with problems you don't know how to work! It is inappropriate to ask how to do a problem in class the day it is due!!!! Staple your pages together before submitting.  My office is Core 257-- See my Schedule for office hours or call or send email for an appointment. I am always delighted to help.
