Textbook

Essential Calculus (2nd Edition) by Stewart. You can either buy a physical textbook or an ebook.

I am NOT using Webassign. However, if you want to log into Webassign for whatever reason (for practice, or you have bought the ebook), here is the class key: miami 9554 5276

See here to avoid making common mistakes in mathematics, especially about checking your work, working backward, equalities and implications, irreversible steps, sign errors, cancellation, brackets, fractions, commutativity and additivity.

Homework

Solution

Sample Test

It's a good idea to do the sample test first, before looking at the solution.

Midterm

Grading scheme

Homework (40 %)

I will assign homework problems to you each week. Assignment will be made available to you in the course homepage. Homework is due and collected at the end of the lesson on Wednesday. Please write down your full name and student ID. Late homework will not be accepted.
