Textbook.

• Required textbook: Essential Calculus by James Stewart

Alternatively, you can purchase your text online by ordering ISBN 0-538-49741-6. If you purchase a used copy, PLEASE make sure that it comes with an unused WebAssign access code so you can do the required homework.
• System requirements for WebAssign online homework: WebAssign is available through the internet and can be used on most computer platforms that have Flash. (The Apple iPad does not support Flash.)
• The link for WebAssign is https://www.webassign.net/colorado/login.html.
Please log on with your CU Identikey and password.

Office Hours.

All Calculus I TAs will hold their office hours for the first two weeks in the computer lab ECCR 143. The lab does require card access.  To request access to ECCR 143, students must go through http://www.colorado.edu/its/labs/labaccess.html to submit a request. When answering the question, "Is there any additional information regarding this request?", students should indicate that they are taking APPM 1350. Students who wish to use ECCR 143 should submit their requests early so as to receive timely access.  Also please note that classes are scheduled in ECCR 143 all day on Tuesday, Monday from 3:00PM - 6:00PM, and Thursday from 7:00PM - 9:00PM.  So you may be asked to leave during those times.

Lecture Notes.

Extra (non-book) notes will be posted here as they become available throughout the course.
