Currently (Summer I, 2009), I am teaching Differential and Integral Calculus, 21-120. Lectures are 10:30–11:50 daily, in Wean Hall 8427. Syllabus (pdf)
Schedule
N.B. Scheduled topics are provisional until covered. All homework assignments are from Stewart “Essential Calculus: Early Transcendentals“, and are due in class two lectures later.
