- An extra final review session is scheduled on Thursday, May 8th at 2pm in Math room 320.
- You can find final exam information here. The final is on May 12th from 2-4pm in Chemistry room 111.
- Reminder, exam 3 is on Tuesday April 8th. It is expected to cover material from sections 3.7 to 4.8, as well as general calculus knowledge such as how to take a derivative.
- Solutions to exam 2 are available. Students would be well advised to read them once they get their exams back.
- There will be a quiz on Tuesday covering material equivilent to two questions on the exam, and which will be added to the first exam scores. The focus will most likely be on limits and derivatives.
- Solutions to exam 1 are available. Students would be well advised to read them once they get their exams back
- You can download some exam 1 review problems here. These should not be interpreted as a complete list of topics on the exam, in particular you should also expect one or more trig problems which are not represented here.
- There was an error in my office hours earlier: the times are the same as they were before, but the locations of my Tuesday and Wednesday office hours have flipped. I am in the tutoring room on Tuesday from 1-2pm and in my office on Wednesday from 9-10am.
- The first exam is on Thursday, Feb 7th. It will cover material from sections 1.1 through 2.2. Please come to class on Wednesday with questions in mind.
- Due to problems with WebAssign some assignments were listed twice. To help resolve any confusion the due dates on two of the assignments which were double listed have been pushed back.
- The Algebra review handout from class on Wednesday is available online. This should give you a good idea of what to expect from the algebra exam on Thursday.
- WebAssign accounts have been created for all of the students currently enrolled. Your login is your email account at the University of Arizona (just the part before the @ sign), your default password is math124-02. When you first login you should change your password to something else.
- Much of the homework for the course will be done through Web Assign. All students will be required to use the system.
- All course announcements will be posted here in addition to any other possible forums. Students should check the course webpage frequently.
