Math 2000 Assignment 2

Spring 2002

Due Thursday, February 7

Do not wait until the last minute to start the assignment! It’s best to get an early start and work on it in several steps. Do not hesitate to ask for help before the assignment is due! BB’s office hours are on Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:30-11:30 and 12:45-1:30 in Science 130/132 or by arrangement. Dustin’s office hours are on Mondays and Wednesdays 11:30-1:00 in Science 130/132. Email also works at wbriggs@math.cudenver.edu and dstewart@math.cudenver.edu.

• Assignments must be either typed or hand-written neatly; in the latter case, it is safest to work in pencil. You may use a word processor and write equations and calculations by hand.
• Assignments must be on clean sheets of paper (lined paper is often easier), not torn from a notebook.
• Assignments must include all steps that lead to the final answer. Solutions that require discussion must be written in complete sentences with perfect spelling and grammar.

1. Please read Units 2A and 2B of the book.

3. Please do the following exercises. You must show the use of units clearly!! This is a minimum recommended dose of exercises. Don’t hesitate to work more exercises if you have not mastered the concepts.

Unit 2A: 10b, 12b, 14c, 16a, 16d, 30

Unit 2B: 6b, 8e, 24.

1. Reuben says, “Two days ago I was 20 years old. Later next year I will be 23 years old.” How is this possible?
