Announced 1/1/20: Welcome to Math 111! Please read the following important announcements:
- Textbook Information: You are NOT required to purchase a hard copy of the text.
  You MAY purchase a custom, loose-leaf edition of the text, listed as Applied Mathematics for Business, by Harshbarger/Reynolds at the University Book Store. (We'll use Chapters 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 for Math 111 and the remaining chapters for Math 112.) The text comes bundled with an access code for Webassign, the online homework system that we use for this course. (Our text is a customized version of Mathematical Applications for the Management, Life, and Social Sciences, twelfth edition, by Harshbarger/Reynolds. Full versions of the text may be found for sale on-line but they tend to be more expensive.)
  
  You do NOT have to purchase a hard-copy of the book. An eBook comes with your Webassign access, so you can also just purchase the access at the bookstore or through Webassign. Here is the link to log into webassign: homework assignments (Webassign)
  
  Whether you use the hard copy or electronic copy of the text, all students must have a Webassign access code. Webassign offers a two-week grace period during which you may access your homework without entering an access code. Your access code will work for both Math 111 and Math 112.
  
  During the first few weeks of the quarter, the homework will cover material that is not in the text. You will need to download this Supplementary Reading to learn about this material. (You are not required to have a paper copy of this material.)
- Other Required Materials:
  - a clear plastic ruler;
  - A Ti-30x IIS Calculator -- about $15 at the bookstore. (This is the ONLY calculator that we allow on the exams).
  - graphs for the homework from the Supplementary Reading (these are for you to print out and use to help with your homework);
  - graphs that go with lectures (print these out and bring them to lecture).
