Sample exam problems: No need to submit your solutions but you should study them for Exam 2. Try to solve these problems first as this will help you with the HW problems too!

Assigned HW problems from the textbook:
- Problems: Submit your answers on Canvas to the textbook problems listed below as "Required for the HW". Note that we have also listed other textbook problems that are required for the HW, but which would be good for you to try to solve in preparation for the exam (you don't need to submit solutions to these latter problems in your HW submission).
