Math 51: Finite Mathematics for the Social and Management Sciences
Homework Problems: Although
the homework may not be collected, it is important to keep up with the
coursework by doing the homework problems. Here is the typical advice for learning mathematics:
1. It is important to study on a regular
basis;
2. Study to understand the concepts;
Read explanations and study examples;
3. Work exercises and relate to concepts;
and
4.
Review what you have done to be
sure you understand how you solved the problem.
When needed, go back to step 2.
