Math 151 syllabus

Math 151 syllabus and suggested textbook problems for Spring 2009

Textbook Calculus, Early Transcendentals by Jon Rogawski, published by W. H. Freeman. Some background material, linked here, is included in the "Rutgers edition" of the book. This material should be the only difference between the generally available book and the Rutgers version.
Students should have a graphing calculator available in class and while doing homework. Calculators may not be used during examinations.
There are many sections of Math 151. The order in which topics are covered, the rate at which they are covered, the precise times of examinations, and the assigned homework exercises may vary from section to section. The exact timing and coverage of exams during the semester will be announced by each lecturer, as will the homework assignments. The problems listed below are suggestions. There will also be workshop writeups.
The final exam for the course will be given on Thursday, May 7 from 4 to 7 PM. All sections normally take the same final examination. Earlier in-class exams are usually written by each lecturer.
