General Comments

Class attendance is HIGHLY recommended. The material is a combination of theory and calculation, and it is necessary to understand some theory in order to do sensible calculations and interpret them correctly. Questions are welcome at ANYTIME.

If you have difficulties, don't wait until the last minute. Make use of my office hours, my email, my telephone, the Calculus helproom, and your own classmates.

Finally, all of the above is subject to change as the semester progresses, depending on what is in my opinion the best direction for the class to take.
