Grades were submitted to the registrar on Monday, March 21, at 5:50pm. If you cannot access your grade, please do send a complaint to them (and not to me). If you wish to see your final, please visit me next (Winter) quarter. I will typically be in my office on Mondays, 1-3pm. This was a great class, I hope you all have a nice break!

If you have any questions about how to obtain a paper or an electronic version of the textbook, please email studentservices[at]math[dot]ucdavis[dot]edu.
The book seems identical to Calculus: An Applied Approach, 7th Edition
(Houghton Mifflin Co., 2006),
by Larson and Edwards, so feel free to get a used copy of this one.
My colleague
Duane Kouba has scanned the homework problems, so you will not need the
book to access homework assignments.
GRADE:
Course grade will be based on the following:
I will follow this grading curve:
ADDITIONAL POLICIES:
Please bear in mind that talking, cellphone ringing, newspaper reading, etc. disrupt the lectures. Use of computers, cellphones, recorders, or any other electronic devices during lectures is prohibited.
If you have any problem at all that requires special accommodation, please let me know well in advance!
Various class materials, including exams (with solutions) from the last time I taught this course are available on the materials page. However, material presented in the lectures will be the basis for the exams.
Homework will be assigned every Wednesday, and will be due on the following Wednesday. You are strongly encouraged to do every assigned problem on your own, although the homework will not be collected. Any homework problem may occur on an exam, perhaps in a slightly changed form.
Use of books, notes, calculators, or anything else but pencil and paper, will not be allowed on any exam.
There will be no make-up exams. A missed exam counts as 0 points. If you miss the final you will automatically receive an F. The grade I (Incomplete) will not be given in any circumstances. If you miss the final because of illness or other emergency, please petition for the Retroactive Drop. I will support your petition. You will also need support from your College Dean, so please talk to them first.
Solutions for the midterms will be posted on the materials page.
