Homework
Problem sets will be posted here. All problem sets will be submitted online via Gradescope. If I say that a problem set is on the "Wednesday night," this means that the hard deadline is 2am on the following Thursday morning.
All problem numbers are from Stewart, 7th edition. Problems marked "self-check" are not to be handed in. I've included them as suggestions for additional practice; usually they are odd-numbered and you can check your answer in the back of the book. I will sometimes put self-check problems on exams, so that some problems will already be familiar.
