Prerequisites:

Textbook: Calculus, Early Transcendentals (Sixth edition)-NEW EDITION!, James Stewart Brooks/Cole Publishing Co.,Pacific Grove, CA

Solution Manual: The solutions manual is not required for the course, but it certainly could not hurt to have a copy! Many suggested problems are odd numbers and these will be in the solution manual. Old editions of the solutions manual will have most of the problems, but the numbers may not match up.

Calculators: Calculators will not be permitted at the exams.

Grading Policy: Homework 10% Midterm I 25% Midterm II 25% Final 40%

Help room: 333 Milbank, Barnard Help Room (on Barnard campus).
For a more precise schedule look at helproom-schedule. This room is always staffed by at least one mathematics professor or graduate student Monday through Friday during business hours. You may drop by whenever the Help Room is open; no appointment is necessary.

HOMEWORK POLICY

There will be both written homework to be handed in, as well as WebWork to be submitted electronically. No late Homework!! Do NOT ask to turn in late homework.

Written Homework:

The lowest homework grade will be dropped at the end. Don't use this as an excuse to miss a homework assignment. If you get sick and miss another one it will be a zero.
The problems on the recommended list will not be graded and are suggestions for further studies.
Homework is to be turned in by 4PM on the due date to the appropriate basket in the undergraduate office room 410. Homework will returned to a basket as well. Grades on assignments and exams can be viewed in the Courseworks grade book.
You must staple or paperclip your work.

WeBWork: These are weekly assignments (ten in total) which are completed on and graded by a computer. The advantage of this homework is that it can be submitted as many times as you like. WeBWork homework is usually due on Monday evening at 6 pm and must be submitted online.
The person in charge of WeBWork for this course is Thomas Peters (tpeters at math dot columbia dot edu). If you have problems with WeBWorks please contact Thomas Peters -- not me.
