Literature: There are many other calculus books that you can consult. There are many in the library and I have some in my office I can borrow you.

Grading policy: The grade will be determined by homework and two exams (midterm and final). There will be be about 10 homeworks (and maybe one or two Maple projects). You have one week to do the homeworks and 4 weeks for a project. The projects can be done in groups. 50% of the grade will be determined by homework and 25% by each of the exams.

If you feel you are a student with a disability please feel free to contact me early in the semester for any help or accomodations which you may need.
