This is a very rapid plan of study. A great deal of energy and
determination will be needed to keep up with it. Modifications may be
necessary. Please send comments to the lecturer. Periodic assignments
(Maple labs, workshops, etc.) may be due at times, and additional
problems may be suggested.
The text is the fifth edition of Stewart's Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Brooks/Cole, 1999, ISBN 0-534-39321-7. A calendar of spring semester dates correlated with the syllabus follows the "plan of study". The calendar may be helpful. |
