* The problems assigned in this column are the least you are expected to solve; at least one those assigned for that week will be graded. You are strongly advised to solve more problems, especially the Supplementary Exercises at the end of each chapter. There will be a short test every other week; questions are usually from the supplementary problems of the corresponding chapter.
