Homework: |
Homework problems will be assigned in class (and listed at the bottom of this page) and will be due at my office by 5:00 PM on the next day that the class meets. No credit will be given for homework problems turned in late. Please show all of your work. Include the formula used and the numbers used, or give your reasoning when appropriate. Partial credit will be given if this information is missing, even if you have the correct answer. Please use significant figures when reporting your final answers.
