ASTR 100 (McGaugh)
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS

The homework assignments for the entire semester are given here. Problems in the boxes refer to problems from the text, The Essential Cosmic Perspective (5th Edition). It is important that you use the correct edition of the textbook. Extra credit problems are included below the box.

All homeworks are due at the beginning of lecture on the date specified.
Homeworks are late (and suffer a 20% penalty) after I remove the homework tray a few minutes into lecture.
Always put your name and section number at the top of your homework!
Be sure to type or write neatly - we can not give credit for things we can not read.
It is necessary to demonstrate understanding. For things like multiple choice questions, explain why the answer you chose is correct.
