University of Rhode Island MTH307: Introduction to Mathematical Rigor
Spring 2016

Schedule

This page will contain the assigned homework problems. I will aim to get these posted by Thursday each week. The following Thursday there will be a quiz that will be based on the homework problems. It is also highly recommended that you attempt other problems in the textbook; I will be happy to discuss them with you in office hours.
