SYLLABUS

TEXTBOOK:

Calculus, Volume II, 2nd edition, by T. M. Apostol

Piazza:

This semester we will be using Piazza as a forum for communication; all class-related discussion will be conducted there so that you can enjoy the collective knowledge of your classmates and instructors. I encourage you to ask questions when you are struggling to understand concepts - you can even do so anonymously.

Your course grade will be based on homework (20%), two in-class midterms (20% each), and a final exam (40%).
No letter grades will be assigned before the end of the semester.
The midterm exams are scheduled on February 28 and April 18. The final exam is scheduled on Tue, 5/13/2014, 7:25PM - 9:25 PM.
Use of calculators will not be allowed for exams. You must bring a valid UW Photo ID to all exams.
If you are eligible for special consideration on exams, please let me know as soon as possible, so that I can ensure that your needs are accommodated.

HOMEWORK:

Homework will be assigned on a (roughly) weekly basis, and will be posted on this page.
Once the homework is posted, you'll have exactly a week to complete it and hand it in.
Late homework will not be accepted.
