Practice Problems

Listed below are practice problems for the topics covered in the lectures and labs. These represent a good set of possible types of exam problems. To be successful on the exams, you will need to be able to do these homework problems.  Doing them correctly on an exam means that the answer is correct, with the correct units and the correct number of significant figures and all the work shown.  Once in a while, "extra credit" problems will be assigned.  These will have a firm due date and will, if correct, be worth some exam points.  They will normally be done using Mathcad.
