| The final homework set, number 27, is now available.
The due date is Monday at noon, and I'll post solutions
at that time.
This is a special homework set: every problem you do
correctly will
replace the score of a problem you missed earlier this
quarter. This is a chance for you to improve your score
and review material for the exam at the same time!

Homework sets
In order to use the on-line homework system,
you need to know your login name and your initial password.
Your "login name" should be the same as your RIT E-mail address,
something like abc1234.
Your initial password should be
the final 4-digits of your student RIT ID number,
so if your ID number is 12345-6789, the
initial password would be 6789.
You can change your password from the default
after you log in for the first time.
