Book and covered material : The course will follow the book "Calculus: Early transcendentals, 8th edition" by Stewart. A priori, we will cover chapters 1, 2, 3, 4.

Webwork : Besides the normal load of homeworks, you will need to complete every week, (starting 10/8) an online assigment. The first assignment will be based on the first two weeks of instruction. Each subsequent assignment will cover not only the previous week’s material, but potentially also all earlier material covered in the course. In order to properly preprare for the exams it is recommended that you attempt to complete the assignments without a calculator given that you will not have a calculator during the exams. The webwork assignments alone are not sufficient preparation for the exams, you will need to solve the suggested homework problems. You should begin by reading the material on the main WWK webpage, in particular you should read the instructions on entering answers into Webwork here, finally, you should read as well the frequently asked questions.

Suggested Homework : In addition to Webwork, it is highly recommended that you also complete the following optional, ungraded problems.

Quizzes : Quizzes will be given once each week in discussion and the lowest of those scores is dropped. The quizzes are a benchmark to measure how well have you learned the material. They are in general harder than the problems in the midterms.

Syllabus and Program: A priori we will follow the syllabus proposed by the Math department

Additional References : You can find most of the resources of this class in the resources page.

Attendance : You are expected to attend classes and discussions. You are expect to read the material signaled in the Syllabus before each class. You are stronlgy encouraged to watch the lecture video before each class that you can find here. (click in the Lectures tab in the left side of the webpage )
