Guidelines for discussion section

Please bring your textbook to section. We will usually work on problems from the textbook together.
Practice problems from section will be recorded on this website (see below). If you are having trouble understainding a concept, you can benefit from working through these problems on your own or with a friend.
There are at least two good reasons that we will work on problems together:
1. Why problems? Math can only be truly learned by doing.
2. Why together? You can understand any subject more deeply when you practice explaing it to another person.
