WebAssign
Students in Math 120 are required to use WebAssign for homework assignments. Course instructors will give students information about how to access WebAssign.
- There is a required calculator for Math 120, 124, 125 and 126. It is the Texas Instruments TI-30X IIS which can be purchased from many places for well under $20. The UW Bookstore carries orange ones, which they will buy back at the end of quarters, but any color is acceptable for Math 120, 124, 125 and 126. Here is a picture of a black (the most common color) TI-30X IIS for reference.
- Math Study Center All students in Math 120 are encouraged to utilize the Math Study Center (located in B-014 in the basement of the Communications building). The MSC is a great place to study: you can work with other students in your course, form study groups, and get assistance from tutors when you are stuck. The hours of operation of the MSC are listed on the MSC website.
