Homework assignments for Math 111: Calculus I, Section C
From James Stewart, Single Variable Calculus: Early Transcendentals,
5th ed., © 2003. Section numbers are links to solutions
(in .pdf format), posted after an assignment is turned in.
Because students are not required to have a
graphing calculator, even if it is not mentioned, any part of any problem
that is marked with the "graphing calculator" symbol
is not assigned, and its answer may not appear
in the solutions. All other parts of such problems are part
of the assignment.
Chapter 1:
- Sec 5, p 62: 1, 2, 4, 17, 18, 25, 26.
- Sec 6, p 74: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 13,

for 60: The formula displayed in the exercise is a bit misleading. On
the left side, Q(t) means "evaluate the function Q at
t", while on the right side Q0 is a constant
multiplied by what is inside the parens.)
