HW Assignment for Math 537

This page will give a complete listing of the reading and homework assignments that you are required to do. In addition, Exam and Final dates will be listed. Most problems will be worked in WeBWorK. For WeBWorK students will login using their last name with a capital first letter and their Red ID number for a password. (Logins are case sensitive!) For example, suppose your name is Henri Poincare with Red ID number 314159265. Then you login with:

Username: Poincare
Password: 314159265

There is a Lab Manual (MATLAB and Maple) version, which will continue to be updated over the semester with detailed information for using MatLab and Maple on your assignments. MatLab can be downloaded from SDSU. There is a useful MatLab graphing template (graph_plot.m) for creating basic graphs in MatLab. For those interested in purchasing Maple, you can access the Maple adoption sheet through this hyperlink.
