Homework Assignments: Note the changes due to missing class 1/21.

Assignments are due by 5:00 PM of the day they are due. If it is an exam day, then the assignment should be completed before the exam. The exercises are on the linked pages below and several pages are grouped together fro each assigned due date. Problems should be neat and in order. Any changes will be noted. Do not wait to begin assignments the night before they are due.
