Math 135, Spring 2015, Prof Ferry's Sections



The following links point to important information about the operation of the course. Students are expected to be familiar with the policies and procedures described. Additional information will be posted here during the term. Students should check back periodically. The big change this semester is that we have a new edition of the text. It's not that big a change in that the new text is very similar to the old one, but the book has moved from Pearson to Kendall Hunt. Either the new or old version of the text will suffice for the course.
