Use the
Lecture Notes provided in Blackboard and the textbook to study the material
following the schedule below. Each section contains a homework assignment. You DO NOT have to turn in these
assignments (unless you do it for quiz credit or extra credit), but I highly
recommend that you work every problem since the weekly quizzes and the exams
are based on them. You will be able to take the quiz only once, starting on
Thursday through the Sunday of each week.
NOTES: 1.You
might want to review Chapter 0, especially if it has been a while since your
last Math class.
2. To fit more information on the
computer screen try increasing the resolution (for ex. 1024 x 768, or above)
3. To print the lecture notes use the
link called Printable Version.
