Math Problem Set #2 (Week 2)

Posted on by

The following problems should be attempted/completed in your Math Problem Set Notebook (Math PSN). All 30 of the problems are assigned as part of this Problem Set. However, 10 of these problems will be chosen for you to submit via WebAssign by 6pm on Fri. Oct. 6; those problems indicated by bold underline.

  • 1.7: 5, 7, 10, 22, 23, 41, 42
  • 2.1: 3, 6 (also: can you determine the acceleration on Mars?), 7
  • 2.2: 1, 2, 5, 15, 18, 28, 30
  • 2.3: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 18, 21, 25, 28, 31, 34, 49
  • **Read over all problems before Thursday Math/Physics Workshop. Complete as many as you can before Workshop.**
    • There is NO EXPECTATION that you can complete all these problems on your own before Workshop – that’s the point of collaborative learning in Workshop.
    • Some of the problems you will be able to complete on your own. Your time in Workshop (and study groups) will be most productive if you are able to identify the problems that are giving (or would give) you difficulty before Workshop.
  • Include solutions to ALL PROBLEMS in your Math PSN. Begin each solution in your PSN with a statement of the problem.
  • Submit bold underlined problems via WebAssign by 6pm Fri. Oct. 6.
  • Solutions to all assigned problems will be posted after the on-line submission due date.
    • Compare the posted solutions to what is in your Math PSN.
    • Make notes, corrections, or complete problems using a different color ink directly in your PSN.
    • This (along with looking over lecture notes) will serve as excellent preparation for the Math Quiz.
