Problem Set #2 – Due 2/8/12

Here’s your second problem set, in Word and PDF formats. It’s due at the start of class on Wednesday, February 8th. Remember, you can collaborate on your problem sets; just identify those with whom you worked when you turn in your problem set. Also, don’t forget about our office hours, including three on Tuesday.

Clarification: On the last problem, I used the variable “EQ_MAG_MW” for the magnitude data.

Problem Set #1 – Due 1/25/12

Here’s your first problem, in Word and PDF format. It’s due at the start of class on Wednesday, January 25th. Remember, you can collaborate on your problem sets; just identify those with whom you worked when you turn in your problem set. Also, don’t forget about our office hours, including three on Tuesday.

Update: For question 9, I’m looking for the significance of that red cell in the Norway row within the dataset itself. I’m not looking for social or political implications of that data point.

Second Update: Here’s the ecological footprint data from the Global Footprint Network. You might need to look at it for some of the questions on the problem set.
