Read Chapter 13.
Do odd Exercises Chapter 13.
Quiz on Chapters 1-13 9/11/2000

For the following chapters do the alternating odd problems starting at question #11 to the end of the problem set.

For example, do problems #11, #15, #19, #23, #27, #31, and #35 if there are 38 problems.

If this results in less than three problems, do a total of three problems getting the additional problems in the following order: #9, #7, #5, #3, #1 and then #2, if they exist.

Second example: if there are 11 questions, do questions #11, #9, and #7.

Third example: If there are 4 questions in the set do questions #3, #1 and then #2.

Check your answers against the solutions in the back of the book.
