Prerequisites are Math1101 (Chap. 1-5 in Stewart), as well as a solid foundation of high-school algebra and trigonometry. The lectures cover most materials in chapters 6,7,8 and 10 of the textbook, including exponential and inverse trigonometric functions, techniques and applications of integration, infinite series. |
| Help | You are highly encouraged to take advantage of help; because of the
short duration of the summer session, we are not able to practice very
much during the class meetings. Help is available in the following forms.
a) My office hours: after class or by appointment (e-mail is the best way to contact me. Please feel free to do so if you need help.) b) TA's helproom hours: Mondays and Tuesdays 2-5 pm. c) Helproom: 406 Math (9am-6pm, Monday-Thursday).
