Recommended Textbook:

The designated textbook for this course is “Calculus” (9th edition, Single Variable Calculus Early Transcendentals) by James Stewart. That being said, if you possess any other text cov- ering all the material, you may not wish to buy the required text.  In particular, any prior edition is more than satisfactory.  Although a review will be provided at the beginning of the term, students are assumed to have sufficient understandings of material from Chapter 1 and Appendix D of the book.

homework collection.

the final will be confirmed by the University.
