  • Additional problems will be assigned in class (including homework on Newton's method).
  • Homework should be done on the day we cover the given section in class, before we begin the next section.
  • Problems in parentheses do not have to be written up or turned in and will not be on the daily quiz. However, these problems use concepts and procedures that you will need to know.
  • All problems not in parentheses will be collected regularly and may appear on the daily quiz.
  • Problems listed above are MINIMUM assignments. More problems may be necessary to master the material.

To do well in this course, you will need to spend about two hours studying calculus outside of class for every hour spent in class. Here are some suggestions for what to do with that time. Most of these activities are best done with one or two other MA160 students.

  • Complete any worksheets that you didn't have time to finish during class.
  • Spend a half-hour reading the text and working through the examples.
  • Do the homework problems.
  • Remaining time can be spent in one or more of the following:
    • Check your homework problems with classmates, discussing discrepancies and different methods of solving problems.
    • Check your homework using Mathematica (or the solutions manual in the library).
    • Read through your class notes and try to find all the mistakes your teacher made in the lecture.
    • Work through problems from the review section of the book.
    • Make up your own problems, and figure out how to check your answers without just re-doing the calculation.
    • Read through the Mathematica notebooks and compare the results there with what we have discussed in class.
    • Write up a brief summary of the section or chapter we have just finished. Sort the information into two or three categories: (1) The Big Idea, (2) Essential Formulas to be memorized, (3) Basic Procedures to be understood and practiced.
    • Look through the review problems or problems that were not assigned, and decide which Big Idea is needed to solve each one. (This is a great way to review for a test.)
