Course Requirements
Course Materials: Calculus: Early Transcendentals,
Fifth Edition (Stewart);
It is suggested that you have a TI-89 for this course, though all of
the in-class quizzes will be written so that you can complete them
without a calculator; helpful tutorials and instructions on how to use your TI are available on the main
131 site.
There will be three examinations during the term, and a cumulative
final. For extensive course details and policies
please consult the official course
website from Autumn 2006. The exam dates are listed below; please contact me TWO WEEKS prior to any exam if you have an
excused absence.
There will be weekly quizzes and homework, both of which
contribute to your mark in the course. There will be NO late
homeworks or quizzes without a documented reason (medical note,
varsity sports event, etc.). While I do not require
attendance, you will be responsible for all the material covered in
lecture, the corresponding sections in the text, homework changes, and
all announcements made in class.
