Homework 2
Math 114Q
Due Tuesday, September 22
Please write complete legible sentences. Write out the words you use
in the unit calculations, using the text and the classroom discussion
as models.
You may work on this assignment with a classmate, and turn in just one
paper. I encourage you to try. If you do, be sure you both work on all
the questions, and both edit the final text. Don't just divide up the
exercises.
You may use the Google calculator for unit conversions. Extra credit
if you do some conversions two ways - with Google for all the work, or
just for the arithmetic.
You will have guessed by now that I try to structure the classes
around working problems, rather than lecturing. That will work only if
you take the time to read the book in between classes!
