Textbook

James Stewart, Essential Calculus, Early Transcendentals 1st or 2nd edition.

Any other edition of Stewart's calculus is also okay, but the sections are in a different order
and you have to figure out what section is covered in the class. Note that the only homework
is through LON-CAPA and no homork is assigned from the textbook, so you do not have to worry
that with a different edition of the textbook you would not know what the homework problems are.

Review materials and practice exams

Angela Athanas' website

Inna Sysoeva's website

Grades will be determined as follows:

Two midterm exams 50% (25% each)
Final exam 30%
Lab assignments (LON-CAPA) 10%
Quizzes 10%

The course will be curved to have a right distribution of grades, but an important rule is that
the final grade cannot be more than one letter grade higher than the final exam grade.

Exams

First Exam: October 1 in class.
Second Exam: November 7 in class.
Final Exam (all day sections): 8:00-9:50, location TBA

The final exam is the departmental one and it is the same for all the sections.
