Chapter and section numbers refer to our textbook Essential Calculus by James Stewart.
Most homework is on the WeBWorK server http://www.csudh.edu/webwork2/ You'll find assignments and due dates there.
- 1st Week, Aug. 27-31

- Paper-and-pencil homework 10.3 #39, 40 in the textbook. Write up solutions to these problems and turn them in Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2012.
- Additional homework:
On a separate piece of paper write a few sentences
describing why you are taking this course and what you
expect to get out of it. If your answer is "I'm taking it
because it's required" then explain, as well as you can,
why this course is required. There is no right or wrong
