Homework Assignments: Homework will be assigned weekly for each chapter.
Please solve each one on a separate sheet (engineering paper), write neatly
and on one side of the paper only. Include a brief statement of the problem and
clearly identify the answer (box it). It is your responsibility to indicate your
solution method clearly. This is not a course in mystery writing!! Some of the
Homework will be submitted on Mastering. Late homework will not be
accepted.
The following schedule is subject to change. Changes will be announced in class
or posted on Canvas. If you miss class, it is your responsibility to keep informed
about changes. The topics in bold include some videos organized as playlists (PL).
Their links will be posted on Canvas.
