You are expected to read the textbook before the classroom discussion of each topic, as indicated on the schedule of reading assignments

HOMEWORK

Homework will consist of problems assigned from the textbook (see the list of homework assignments) as well as additional problems provided by your instructor. Each lecturer will announce that section's policy on collection and grading of homework.

You are encouraged to discuss homework problems with your fellow students. Working in groups makes the explanation of approaches and solutions a part of the process and helps you learn. Your goal is to find solutions and to communicate your ideas in a convincing manner.

MATH LEARNING CENTER

The Math Learning Center is located in SEO 430. It is a spacious and comfortable place to study. Staff will be available during its hours of operation to assist students with Math 181. You should visit the center and get to know different TAs and peer tutors that can provide you with instant help.
