  • Problem Set 1. Do ten of the following problems, and write a paragraph brainstorming ideas for projects: 1.1-1, 1.2-1, 1.2-2, 1.2-3, 1.2-4, 1.3-4, 1.4-1, 1.4-2, 1.5-1, 1.6-1, 1.6-2, 1.7-2, 1.7-4. Solutions
  • Problem Set 2. Solutions
  • Problem Set 3. Do seven of the following problems: 3.2-1, 3.2-2, 3.2-3, 3.3-1, 4.1-2, 4.1-3, 4.2-4, 4.3-2, 4.4-2, 4.4-3. Solutions
  • Problem Set 4. Choose five of the following problems: 5.1-1, 5.2-1, 5.2-3, 5.4-1, 5.4-2, 5.4-3, 5.5-1, 5.5-3, 5.5-4. Also, include a statement of scope and objectives for the course project. The statement should not exceed five pages typed and single-spaced. Remarks on the methods you plan to use (based on preliminary research results, educated guesswork, or experience) and a literature survey would certainly enhance the quality of the statement. This statement will account for 25% of this homework grade. Solutions
