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:
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 previous years are available on the materials page. However, material presented in the lectures will be the basis for the exams.
Homework will not be collected. However, you are strongly encouraged to do every assigned problem on your own. 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.
Solutions for the midterms will be posted on the materials page.
