800 023 01 Mathematics for Decision Making [Campbell] Homework Assignments

No Homework will be collected, but problems you should look at are listed below.

Answers/solutions to the even number problems which I have listed are available for the material on the second test (counting, probanbility and statistics) and for the material on the final not previously covered (interest and modular arithmetic)

This page will be updated as the semester progresses.
