Math 171. Intermediate Mathematical Analysis I.   Spring 2005.

Tentative class schedule with homework assignments

This schedule is subject to change.

Assignments shown in gray may change. The ones shown in black will not (except I may occasionally decide to give more points for a problem).

Each part (a, b, etc.) of each problem (for which a, b, etc. are shown) is worth 1 point, except problems marked by * (which are either longer or more difficult or more important than other problems) are worth 2 points, problems marked by ** are worth 3 points, etc. If no parts are shown and the problem is not marked by *, then the whole problem is worth 1 point.
