Prerequisite: C or higher in MAT 125 or 131 or 141 or AMS 151 or level 6 on the mathematics placement examination Textbook: Single Variable Calculus (Stony Brook Edition 4), by James Stewart available at the University Bookstore @ Stony Brook. This edition, essentially the same as Single Variable Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, 4th ed, comes with an access code for WebAssign, which we will be using this semester. You are free to use an older version of the textbook. But then you will need to buy stand-alone access for WebAssign. You can get electronic access to the text together with WebAssign access at WebAssign. You can also get electronic access to individual chapters; and then you will still need to buy access to WebAssign. The textbook is available in University bookstore or directly from the publisher. Calculators use: The course does not require use of a calculator. You can use one to do the homeworks, but it will be mostly useless. Moreover, use of calculators will not be allowed in the Early exam. Decision about use of calculators in the midterms and final exam will be made later. Homeworks and exams: There will be weekly homework assignments, consisting of online homework (WebAssign) and some paper homeworks. For more details, see "homeworks" link to the left. In addition, there will be two midterm exams and the final exam. The time of these exams is as follows: Grades policy:
