HW13: I didn't see much excitement today about having one more homework. Maybe indeed you can use your time more efficiently in the RRR week by preparing for the finals rather than submitting one more assigment to grade. So, let's assume that no hw 13 is due. However, I still recommend doing as many exercisesfrom the book as you can, and if you are curious to know what I would assign as hw 13, it could be: X.15.1, X.16.1, X.16.5, X.19.1, X.19.4.
