(Recall: all assigned problems should be turned in. We will choose a random subset of approximately 5 problems to grade from each homework assignment.)

Note that I have checked that these problems are the same in the 4th and 5th editions of Strauss. If you have an older edition, please find a 4th or 5th edition (in the library or from a friend...) to confirm that you are doing the same problems as the ones assigned.
