This page will be filled in once the spring term starts.

Biology C2006 / F2402 - Spring 2009 Problem Book

Note: This list is a guide, not an assignment.  Problems will be posted regularly throughout the term.  If there are no problems listed (yet) for a particular date it does NOT mean there are no problems to do!  It just means the list has not been updated yet. 
We will do our best to keep it current, but you have to use your own judgment as well. (Note that some problems are also listed in the lectures, starting with Lect. 2.)

Many of the problems in Becker are worth doing. Several copies of the Solutions Manual for Becker should be on reserve in the biology library.
