All ISU undergraduate students are invited to participate in the Problem of the Week Contest.
Math 317 Homework: Each homework assignment is due at the second class meeting following the day it is assigned. Thus (unless a holiday intervenes) an assignment made on a Monday is due on Thursday of the same week; an assignment made Friday is due the following Tuesday, &c.
