Math 53: Schedule and homework assignments
Michael Hutchings, Spring 2015
- Please note that
topics listed for a given lecture may be covered in the previous or
subsequent lecture.
- Each lecture lists the sections of the book that will be covered; it is best to read these before the lecture if possible.
- Sections of the book that do not appear below (e.g. 10.6) will not be covered in the course, and reading these is optional.
- Quizzes will emphasize the sections listed but may review earlier material as needed.
- For extra practice, the review problems at the end of each chapter are highly recommended.
- After each lecture I have posted links to the "Check your understanding" (CYU) questions that were asked in lecture.
