Calculus 1: Math 1300 - All Sections


Tentative Schedule and Homework Assignments

A tentative schedule, including homework assignments, is listed below. It is subject to change and will be updated weekly. Solutions to the underlined problems should go at the beginning of your homework. The remaining problems should follow the underlined problems. Unless stated otherwise, all homework is due the class session following the session it is assigned. Note that QC stands for Quick Check. The Quick Check problems come before the ordinary exercises. Solutions to the underlined problems as well as solutions to the thursday homework worksheets can be obtained by clicking here, however the solutions will only be available after the homework (for all sections) has been collected.
