Math 138 Spring 2004 Syllabus

 

NOTE TO STUDENTS: This syllabus is tentative and may be subject to minor changes.

All chapter numbers less than or equal to 14 in lectures 1-10 refer to the text Calculus(third edition), by Strauss, Bradley, and Smith, except in Lecture 8. There the relevant material is available, with access code, from http://www.prenhall.com/rutgerscalc. Other section numbers refer to the supplements for Math 138 available for download and printing by students from the course home page.
