 Your Job
    Please write a one or two page solution.
    Submit a COPY on the 3rd day of class.
    The final draft of 1.2-2 will be collected with 
    Week 2 homework in a stapled package.
 Sample Solved Problem
    The link below is work by Jennifer Lahti. Try
    to do as well, but write your own draft. This
    is practise writing mathematics, with the mysteries
    removed. Tyson Black's work for 1.2-1 is there also,
    to see the range of what is acceptable.
