[ Math 447 Home | Office Hours ]
Note: Each section of the text contains two types of problems for you to work, exercises and problems. The exercises in a given section are sprinkled throughout that section. We will use the notation E2.3.4 to refer to Exercise 2.3.4 from Section 2.3. The problems in a given section are located at the end of each section. We will use the notation P2.3.4 to refer to Problem 4 at the end of Section 2.3.
