If a given day's assignment seems lighter than average, it's a good idea to read ahead and start doing the next assignment, which may be longer than average.
Unless otherwise indicated, problems are from Nagle and Saff. The non-book problems are available as a PDF file. Read the corresponding section of the book before working the problems.
