Note: Homework will start immediately with the first week of classes, M 1/22. Assignments will be posted for several weeks in advance. They always correspond to the material covered in lecture during a particular week, and they are due in recitation the following week. Your TA may make adjustments. Solutions are to be submitted in writing for grading; papers should be well written using complete sentences and arguments. Recitation leaders may assign additional odd numbered problems which are to be prepared for discussion, possible presentation, or quizzes. We also refer to the "homework" paragraph on the course description page.

Projects: You can work on one or two projects from the categories A,B,C below and submit them for credit. The absolute deadline for turning in any remaining course work is May 15, 7:30pm - the end of our Final Exam. We strongly recommend not to wait that long. Each project is worth up to 10% of the course grade; scores will reflect the quality of your effort. We encourage you to tackle a more challenging task, which will be judged generously. You cannot submit more than two projects, and if you do two, they must be chosen from different categories.
(A) (General) Build a model of one of the following three regular or semiregular polyhedra:
dodecahedron, icosahedron, truncated icosahedron (soccer ball, buckyball)
Use a paper or cardboard template consulting online resources such as
http://isotropic.org/polyhedra/
http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/model-construction-tips.html
http://www.stevepasos.com/ai/fod/escher_assignment/
Ready made construction kits with sticks or similar may not be utilized. You can actually keep your model, just sign and show it at the end of any lecture, for instant evaluation and extra credit - also present it in recitation.
(B) (Writing) The optimal format might be about 2-3 typewritten pages - double spaced.
Include examples to support your arguments whenever possible.
1. Writing Exercise 4 on p180 in Chapter 3
2. Writing Exercise 4 on p415 in Chapter 6
3. Writing Exercise 4 on p460 in Chapter 7
(C) (Problems) Explain all details; make use of applets where applicable.
1. Project 4 on pp63-64 in Chapter 1
2. Project 4 on p265 in Chapter 4
3. Project 8 on p535 in Chapter 8
