On-line (EWA) Assignments

Find them on WebAssign
Our class key for sign-in is: yorku.ca 2606 7357
Note that it is possible to purchase the access code online (in case you don't go for the bundle).
Please read over the Student Guide to familiarize yourself with the system.

Also note that EWA may cause trouble regarding significant figures. Do your calculations with one more digit than the input data (as you should for intermediate steps). Then enter your final results with this extra digit (beyond what is significant). Webassign accepts your answer if it is within 1% of its typical 3-digit answer (data are usually given to 2 digits). Sometimes, when you correctly round to 2 digits, you will fall outside this 1% range, and Webassign thinks your answer is wrong.


Winter 2013

Note that relevant chapters to read will be posted on the Notes page next to a given day's lecture.
  • First assignment covering ch.17 is posted (via WebAssign) and is due on 1/20/13 at midnight.
