Mathematics 181: Calculus II


Announcements



TEXTBOOK

Calculus, Early transcendentals,  by Jon Rogawski, W. H. Freeman. 

You will need the volume containing chapters on the integral through sequences and series, chapters 5 through 10.

A brief description of the material covered each week is in the Syllabus  

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 link below) 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 work in a convincing manner.
