If you feel you are having a hard time in calculus because of a weakness in algebra skills, we are pleased to announce that this year for the first time we have a Quantitative Skills Center. The center is located on the third floor of Palenske, two doors east of my office. There you will find resources to help you strengthen your algebraic muscles. Most students find that calculus is not a difficult subject when they know some very basic algebra, like finding a common denominator and factoring polynomials. You can get more info about the center here .
Homework is due on the assigned day.
You will typically have three days from the time of assignment till the due date. Many assignments will be done in a group. Just like class attendance, you must attend all your group sessions and contribute to the progress of your group. There will be a test at the end of each of the 5 chapters we cover. No makeup tests will be given, but see the next paragraph.
