The course catalog lists Calc I and Calc II as prerequisites for this course. I will assume that you have basic knowledge from these courses. In particular, you will need some basic familiarity with sets, logarithms, the exponential function, derivatives, integrals, matrix operations, and solving systems of linear equations. A background in algorithms will be helpful. You may wish to read Chapter 0 in the text, which includes a review of many elementary concepts.
All tests occur during recitation, roughly every two weeks.
Tests are not cumulative, but will include all material covered since the last test. The final exam IS cumulative. Tests will always award some amount of partial credit, but you must always show your work . If you believe we have misgraded a problem, you must bring it to our attention on the day the test is returned to you, no later. Generally, I award only a small curve, if any at all.
