Textbook: Jon Rogawski and Colin Adams, Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Third Edition, W. H. Freeman & Co. (2015) ISBN-13: 978-1464114885 ISBN-10: 1464114889
Homework: Answers to odd-numbered exercises are in the back of the book. I highly recommend working jointly on homework problems with fellow students. The homework problems in bold below have matching Webwork problems, which must be submitted online. To pass this course, the Webwork problems are the minimum requirement; to earn an excellent grade, you will have to do the other assigned problems in your textbook.
Webwork: Webwork is a free online system that provides individualized homework problems, gives immediate feedback, and allows you to correct mistakes until the due date. Later, you can see detailed solutions online. Webwork is required in this course, and it is a major part of your grade. Webwork website
Exams: There will be two in-class exams, Exam 1 on Wednesday, September 28 and Exam 2 on Wednesday, November 2.
Grading: The course grade will be determined as follows (subject to change announced in class): 20% Webwork + 50% Exams and quizzes + 30% Final Exam. Without exception, you must pass the exams to pass this course, and you must take the final exam at the time scheduled by the college.
Help: My office hours are on Mondays and Wednesdays 11-12:15pm in my office, 1S-209. Also, free math tutoring is available.
How to Study: (1.) Come to class (attendance is mandatory). (2.) Read the relevant sections after class. (3.) Do the homework. Leave time to think about it! (4.) Come to my office hours or the help room with any remaining questions. (5.) To study for a math exam, you must DO MORE PROBLEMS from past exams, homework and textbook.
