MA271: Multivariable Calculus

Assignments

Homework will be given weekly and collected Tuesdays during recitation. The semester-long list of problems (without weekly divisions) is given here (PDF). The divisions of what is due each week are listed below, including due dates. All problems are from Thomas' Calculus: Early Transcendentals 12 ed.

The due-dates are hard deadlines. If you wish to hand in homework outside rectiation time, you are responsible for working out such an arrangment with the TA. Late homework will not be accepted without prior approval.
