Math 351 - Principles of Analysis (Section 002 Winter 2006)

Team Homework Assignments


Instructor: Richard Kollár

For information on the course and my contact information, please visit the Math 351 homepage.

The following assignments can be done either individually or in a group (up to 3 members); it is your choice. If working in a group, you hand-in only one copy of the assignment per group but you must include a cover sheet that includes names of team members, list of submitted problems and a short description of your meetings. You should also include comments on difficulties encountered while solving the given problems.

Team Homework Assignment #1 [Due Friday January 20 (in class)]

Do exercise 1.12. Also carefully show that n!/(k!(n-k)!) is an integer for all nonnegative integers n and k=0,1,...,n. Your proof should be an induction argument. But be careful! There are two parameters, namely k and n. So you will have to give the set up some thought. (Also, discuss whether the binomial theorem can be applied if n is not an integer or not? If the answer is positive, explain what would need to change. Note that this part of your team homework won’t be scored.)

Team Homework Assignment #2 [Due Friday January 27 (in class)]

Download the study material (pdf file). Do two problems out of 1.1. to 1.4. Also do 1.6.,1.7. and 3.

Team Homework Assignment #3 [Due Friday February 3 (in class)]

The same study material as for Assignment #2. Do one of the problems 2.1. or 2.2. Do one of the problems 2.3. or 2.5. Do one of the problems 2.4. or 2.6.

Team Homework Assignment #4-#5 [Due Wednesday February 15 (in class)]

Download the study material (pdf file). Do all the problems. This is an important homework! I suggest to everybody to try all problems individually first and then to compare answers with the other members of his/her team. All instructions are included in the file. Note the change of the deadline! Also, don’t forget that if you want you may resubmit the problem 2.5 (or 2.3) from the previous team homework. Note that this is due Friday, February 10.

Do problems 17.13., 17.14. and 18.2. from the book.

Team Homework Assignment #7 [Due Friday March 24 (in class)]

Download the study material (pdf file). Do both problems completely. This is an important homework! I suggest to everybody to try all problems individually first and then to compare answers with the other members of his/her team. All instructions are included in the file.
