| Text: | J. Stewart, Calculus: Early Transcendentals
You can have either the single variable version if you don't think you are going to take Calc III, or you can have the multivariable version if you think you are going to take Calc III (and you don't mind carrying around a really big book). |
|
| Technology: | MATLAB and Desmos will be used extensively in this class. However, I will assume that students have no previous programming experience. |
