Calculus 2
Syllabus
Our course will cover approximately 30 sections in 40 class days. With time factored in for exams and review, this is a pace of about one section per day. Some days will have more than one section; some sections will require more than one day. I will update this website weekly throughout the semester.
In addition, look here for practice exams, class handouts, and solutions to the exams (AFTER they happen, of course!)
