Bonus Opportunity Problems

A total of about 144 problems were carefully selected to complement the lectures. Additional practice problems, which are NOT to be handed in, are also provided. Answers to the even-numbered problems are in the textbook and worked out in the Solution Manual. The BOP's will be divided into five sets as we cover the material in class. The first four sets will be due on the Monday following each exam; the last set will be due on the last day of class. The BOP's may be turned in with a 10% penalty through Wednesday. After that time, the BOP's will absolutely not be accepted without a medical excuse. Please use regular notebook paper with your name, S.S. number, course and section number, date, my name and set number on the first page, and print your name and S.S. number on all additional pages. The problems submitted must be the "original" (not a photo- or carbon copy). The problem sets will NOT be returned to you. Please retain a copy of your work for future reference. You must show all work (messy is OK). You must hand in at least 70% to receive 1 BOP point, 80% to receive 2 BOP points and 90% to receive 3 BOP points. I encourage you to work the problems. You will find similar problems on the exams. I am available to answer any questions on BOP's during my office hours and review sessions.
