Textbook for Summer 2003/Fall 2003: Soo T. Tan; Applied Calculus; Brooks/Cole (Fifth edition), 2002 (976 pp.);(ISBN# 0-534-37843-9)
The textbook starting in Spring 2004: Strauss, Bradley, Smith; Calculus; Prentice-Hall.
Syllabus based on Tan: This syllabus divides the material of Math 136 into 26 lectures, leaving two lectures free for in-class midterm exams. Problems using trigonometric functions (see Chapter 12) will be introduced in lectures.
