Assigned textbook problems
Once again, you should do all the textbook problems. At a minimum you should do a sample of the (P) Preliminary Problem, (F) Fundamental Problem and most of the (R) Review Problem problems. You are expected to do these problems as homework. You do not have to hand them in, yet it is possible (likely) that there will be in class work, quizzes and tests.
* Means that I think it is a particularly good question. Make sure you do the ones with a * as they are likely to show up in on the tests.
There are a lot of resources available to you at http://www.khanacademy.org/ and simulations at
