Textbooks

Calculus, 10^th Edition, by Salas, Hille and Etgen

Linear Algebra Done Wrong, by Sergei Treil. A hardcopy is available at the bookstore.

Grading

There will be two midterms, one final exam, homework assignments and quizzes. The midterms are 25% each, the final is 30%, the homework assignments are 10% and quizzes are 10% of your total grade. Late homework is not accepted and there are no quiz make ups. I will drop your lowest homework and quiz grade at the end of the quarter.

Week at a glance

Lectures are on MTuWF. Besides the textbooks, there may be supplementary handouts. I will not cover everything in lectures. You have to read the relevant sections in the textbooks and the handouts. Thursday quiz sections are for discussing problems with your TA. You should go to quiz sections prepared to ask and answer questions. There will be quizzes on most Thursdays. I will announce the quiz topic in lecture on Wednesdays if you remind me. The homework assignments are due on Mondays at the beginning of class.

Calculator policy

Calculators are not allowed on quizzes or exams.
