MATH 115 - Mathematical Ideas

Text: Excursions in Modern Mathematics (7th Edition) by Tannenbaum  (2010)

The following problems are your recommended homework for the first unit.

The underlined problems from each chapter will be collected (and graded!) after we have covered the chapter.

The other problems should still be completed­.  Even though they will not be graded, they were specifically chosen to help you practice and better understand the material, and could show up on the quizzes and tests.

If you have any questions about any of these problems (or any others that I didn't assign), please ask either in class or in one of my office hours.
