Section 2.3 page 75 # 5b, 7b, 21, 23*, 29 (use Maple for 29)
Section 2.4 page 86, #5, 6
Section 2.5 page 91 # 7 (note x = sqrt(1+1/x) and let p0 = 1), 9 (compute x0, x1, x2, x2A=x3, x4 x5, x5A)
Section 2.6 page 100 Use Horner's method to find P(1) and P'(1) for # 1d and do one step of the Newton's method., # 9

Chapter 3
Section 3.1 page 120 # 1a (use the values 0 and 0.6 for the linear polynomial), 3a (use the closest values to 8.4 and do degree 3 only), 4a (use the same order as in # 3 a), 7a, 22, 25 (use Maple for 25)
Section 3.2 page 132 # 1a (use the closest values to 8.4 and do degree 3 only), 5a, 9 (hint: first compute a difference table and then compute a divided difference table.)
Section 3.3 page 141 # 1a, 5a (use Maple for 5a, and note that the error bound is found on line 3 of page 136)
Section 3.4 page 154 #7, #11 (use Maple)
