Math 131, Fall 2004
Daily Assignments

Lesson Schedule: We will try to follow the attached schedule closely, but there may be daily adjustments as we go along.  Revisit this page to stay on target.  Don't rely on an initial printed copy to be accurate for the whole semester. 

If at all possible, try to read the material for each day and attempt some of the problems BEFORE coming to class.  Even if you don't get it all, the reading will probably make the lectures more valuable.

Some exercises requiring a graphing calculator are marked in the textbook with a calculator icon. If there is no such icon, you should be able to do the problem without a calculator,.  If you need a calculator to solve a problem that doesn't have the calculator icon, then you're probably too calculator dependent.

          Some links on this page require Adobe Acrobat Reader:   Free download here.


          Most of the material in Chapter 1 of the text should be a review from precalculus.  A possible exception is Section 1.7 on "paramet4ric equations."  We will begin with Section 1.7 in Chapter 1.  For the first
          few days,  reading assignments reviewing the earlier parts of Chapter 1 are also includied with the daily reading.  Please be sure you understand that material.  Feel free to see me if you wanbt to talk about
          any of it.
