The following lists all the relevant problems for the different sections in the order covered in class. Start by doing the ODD-numbered problems, for which you have the answers at the end of your textbook.
If you need additional problems, you may do the Even-numbered ones, however no list of answers can be provided for them . If you are unsure of your solutions, compare your answers to your friends or come discuss your solutions with me during office hours.
