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.

Suggested Exercises (changes announced in class may not be posted)
