Homework #1

The first homework will be the following problems from Cox, Little, and O'Shea:

1.1: #5
1.2: #6,7,8
1.3: #6,8
1.4: #6

Also:

Find a Lagrange multiplier problem in your old calculus book (you still have one don't you ;) that has some messy equations that one must solve to get an answer, and solve it (how messy is up to your own discretion). We'll learn a much easier way of solving these systems later, and I will use some of these examples in class later on.

The due date for this assignment is February 11th.
