MATH-1700-ES31

Welcome to the home page for Section ES31 of MATH-1700 (Calculus 2) at Southeast Community College in the Winter term of 2016. I am Toby Bartels, the instructor.

Administration

Here is material about the administration of the course:

My course policies: DjVu format, PDF format.
Your current grade (on Moodle, where you must log in).
Downloading help (if you have trouble reading some of the files here).

Assignments

If you miss an assignment, then you can find it here. Eventually some solutions to graded quizzes may show up here too.

Readings and homework (done nearly every day).
Problem sets and quizzes (done nearly every week).
Final exam (March 17 Thursday).

Most graded work is done in class; although it can be made up outside of class, regular attendance is important.

Resources

The official textbook for the course is the 2nd Edition of University Calculus: Early Transcendentals by Hass et al published by Addison Wesley (Pearson). You should be able to get this at the bookstore, and most homework problems will come from it. (This same book is used for MATH-2080, but MATH-1600 uses a different edition this term.) If you pay for it, you can also use MyMathLab integrated into the Moodle course; this is optional.

I'll also have some lecture notes, hand-outs, links, and so forth. If you miss class, then you might be able to find a substitute here. But there is no guarantee that everything will show up!
