A graphing calculator is required for this course. We have traditionally used the TI-82 or 83 and recommend either of them, but any calculator with equivalent capacities can be used, such as TI-85 or 86.
Calculators will not be permitted on midterm and final exams.


Workshops:

First 20-30 minutes of each workshop will be spent discussing the homework due that week.
Each Thursday the homework due is from the sections discussed in the previous two lectures
(Tuesday of the same week and Friday of the week before).
You need to work all the problems pertaining to these sections and listed in Homework Problems .
(See same list in an .html file.)

The solutions of the even-numbered problems of this list need to be written up and turned in workshop for grading.
To write up solutions start with the number and text of the problem, then write the solution showing all your work,
and box the final answer. An answer alone may not receive full credit!
Late homework or workshop writeups will not be accepted!

This may be sometimes followed by a short quizz; no calculators will be allowed for these.


In the second part of the workshop, you will work together with two or three other students on problems handed out at the beginning of the workshop.
The emphasis will be on problem-solving strategies, multi-step problems, and good write-ups of your solutions.
The workshop problems are generally somewhat more difficult and open-ended than the regular homework problems.
This small-group work will be directed by your teaching assistant, assisted by an undergraduate peer mentor.

Cooperative effort is encouraged!

At the end of the workshop period your TA will announce what workshop problem(s) you need to write up
and hand-in the following workshop for grading.
The grading will take into account not only the accuracy of your solution, but also the quality of your exposition. Thus, for example, the problem should be stated, all notation defined, diagrams clearly labelled, and steps fully explained. Neatness and legibility are important.
While joint work is appropriate for the workshop, the final write-up of the problems should be your own.
