Sorry but I just noticed that there is no class on monday (duh!) So I moved the 5.4 down to homework 2, and added a couple more problems to homework 1.

5.4: 5.4.1, 5.4.5, 5.4.6
7.1: 7.1.1, 7.1.5, 7.1.6

Honors/Graduate also hand in:
5.4: 5.4.4 The first formula has a typo it should be $\frac{1}{1+t}-\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{1+t} t^{n+1}$, the $t^{n+1}$ is missing
7.1: 7.1.7

Homework 3 (due on Friday Feb. 5)

7.5: 7.5.1, 7.5.5, 7.5.8

Honors/Graduate also hand in:
7.4: 7.4.9 (Hint: the metric does not need to be at all related to the standard metric)
7.5: 7.5.9

Homework 5 (due on Friday Feb. 26)

8.1: 8.1.3, 8.1.5, 8.1.7, 8.1.8, 8.1.9, 8.1.12

8.2: 8.2.2, 8.2.6, 8.2.7, 8.2.8
8.3: 8.3.2, 8.3.3, 8.3.7
E1) Also compute the derivative of $f(x,y) = (1,x^2+y^2)$ at the point $(1,2)$.

Honors/Graduate also hand in:
8.2: 8.2.12, 8.2.11

Homework 7 (due on Friday Mar. 25)

8.4: 8.4.1, 8.4.2, 8.4.3 (assume $f$ is differentiable, also on part b, it is same as part a, show it for all $(x,y) \in C(0,1)$)
8.5: 8.5.1, 8.5.2, 8.5.3 (here the function should be $f \colon {\mathbb{R}}^2 \to {\mathbb{R}}^2 \setminus \{ 0 \}$, similarly in part c, $(a,b)$ should not be $(0,0)$), 8.5.5 (there is a missing hypothesis, and another typo, let me just rewrite the problem here:

8.5.5: Consider $z^2 + xz + y =0$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$. Find an equation $D(x,y)=0$, such that if $D(x_0,y_0) \not= 0$ and $z^2+x_0z+y_0 = 0$ for some $z \in {\mathbb{R}}$, then for points near $(x_0,y_0)$ there exist exactly two distinct continuously differentiable functions $r_1(x,y)$ and $r_2(x,y)$ such that $z=r_1(x,y)$ and $z=r_2(x,y)$ solve $z^2 + xz + y =0$. Do you recognize the expression $D$ from algebra?
