**PLEASE NOTE:  Exercise answers are to be turned in at the #beginning# of
class on the due date.  Late assignments will not be accepted---no exceptions!
Students are encouraged to work together on these and all future exercise
questions.  However, each student is required #separately# to pass in an
answer sheet in their own writing to minimize the danger of free-riding on
the work of others and consequent disaster on the final exam.

NUMERICAL Exercise Number 6, page 205. Be sure to justify your
assertions and to label your graphs carefully.

     REMARK: The solution for the interest rate in Part d.
     is unrealistically large, so getting a large value of
     R does not necessarily mean you have made an error.

ANALYTICAL Exercise Number 6, page 206. Be sure to justify your

Exercise Number 1, page 225.  Be sure to justify your assertions

     calculations for decimal numbers using at least two decimal
     places.
