twice per week in recitation One of your recitation meetings is designed to discuss questions over homework or lecture The other recitation meets in the computer laboratory where the computer package Maple will be introduced The goal of the laboratory portion of the course is to show how problems that are too difficult to solve hand can be solved with the help of the computer The prerequisite for this course is either Math 150 precalculus or a good high school mathematics background that includes algebra II analytic geometry and trigonometry Texts Calculus Early Vectors by Stewart et all published by Brooks Cole The computer laboratory will also use Calclabs with Maple also published by Brooks Cole Homeworks Our class will be doing homework on a computer system called CengageNOW Directions for enrolling in the system and your class can be found at www math tamu edu epstein eHW The first homework available now and it is due on Sunday January 27 at 11 55 PM Grading Your grade
