Math 152, Spring 2009 Homework List

It is very important that you practice doing as many problems as you can. It is not enough to understand the concepts; you must be good at executing them or you will run out of time on exams. Therefore, I have prepared a list of warm-up or study problems for most sections. You do not have to turn the warm-up problems in, but you should do as many of them as you need to in order to feel comfortable with each concept.

You should follow the homework policy outlined in the syllabus for the paper problems to be turned in. In particular, please remember to follow all the format rules. Deadlines and problem lists are subject to change according to announcements made in class. There may be paper homework due on the last day of class, which is a Wednesday!

All paper problems due on the same day should be stapled together in one packet. All problems due on different days should be kept separate. This will be enforced!

** Problem set 0 on WeBWorK is optional, but you are encouraged to look at it to familiarize yourself with the online system.

Notes

2.3 #29: This is not a simple yes or no question! As always, you must provide full justification for your answers. If the statement is true, prove it. If it is false, give a counterexample.
2.4: This section is for extra credit only. You may turn it in either with Homework 3 (2/20) or Homework 4 (2/27).
3.3 #13: Do only the 2 x 2 and 3 x 3 cases, and make a conjecture for n x n. For a bonus point, prove the n x n case!
6.1 #32: There are two typos in this question! The fourth line (the centered equation) should say
L(V_1) = {w in W | w = L(v) for some w in V_1}.
And the last line should read, "Show that L(V_1) is a subspace of W."
8.7 #23, 24, 29: In these problems, also sketch the graph of each conic section as neatly as you can. Draw your graphs large enough for me to see easily what is going on and label your axes clearly. Graph paper might be useful.
