MAT 21A Section A - CALCULUS Reading Assignment
Spring Quarter 2018
Instruction:
Every week several homework problems are assigned through Weekly Homework Assignment, along with reading assignments given on this website. The homework problems you work on the WeBWork are simple computational exercises which do not require much of your brain power. Here on the Reading Assignment page you are given more interesting problems from the book. You are supposed to solve these extra problems, since the exams (midterms and the final) may be based also on them. Partial solutions can be found in your book. Please utilize your TA's office hours, discussion sections, and the instructor office hours, to learn more about these problems. At the same time, please read the assigned sections throughly.
