Assignment 2, for Wednesday Sept. 15
None of the Chapter 1 Review Problems will appear on
the week's quiz. These are interesting problems, because they
give a sense of how the techniques we're studying can be applied in
biological applications, but they are too long to appear on
quizzes or exams, and in many cases they require calculators.
Also, please ignore the author's directions
on all problems from Section 3.1 and simply evaluate these
limits.
