<p>The syllabus shows that our test is next Tuesday (trhe 20th). I
would like to move our first test to the 27th. <br>
</p>
<p>Since you all should have your books by now, the first homework
assignment will be due on the 20th by 5 pm.<br>
</p>
<p>Please complete the following eight problems from Hearn.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>2-6, 2-10, 2-13, 3-2, 4-8, 4-14, 4-18, 4-24<br>
</p>
<br>
I will explain more about turn-in procedures later.<br>
<br>
<br>
Note: my copy of Hearn has a typo on problem 2-6. Problem 2-6
states in my edition that 105 bits are transferred per second. That
is obviously wrong - I can talk faster that that. In an earlier
edition it was correct -- 10<sup>5 </sup>bits per second ( i.e. --
100000).<br>
