This website contains the relevant material for the second semester of Calculus, Mathematics 1220-90, Calculus II.

You may use this website to refresh yourself on the material of Calculus II, or to take the course for University of Utah credit. For the latter, you must register for the course through U of U online. Go to link 5 above, link to "Register" and then follow the instructions.

The text used in this and standard Calculus classes at the University of Utah is

Calculus, by Varberg, Purcell and Rigdon, Prentice-Hall, Ninth edition. ISBN-10: 0131429248 Student Edition

Supplementary notes by Prof. Hugo Rossi are also strongly recommended, and available on the Course Information page.

Go to "Course Information" (link 2 above) for information about the components of the course, and how they relate to grading. Then go to the Syllabus and Supplementary Materials (Notes by Profs. Rossi and Palais, Practice Problems, Exams, and Solutions) and Suggested Textbook Schedule (links 3 and 4 above). Do the weekly reading and practice problems first.

Weekly homework assignments are done on WebWork (see link 1 above). To access this program, you will need a users's account, which we shall provide. You will be sent, by email, information on how to access your webwork account. For students who registered for the class during the regular registration period, this will happen on the first day of class. Other students (and if you do not receive this on the first day) should send an email directly to the instructor with Course number, full name, student ID and email address included. After that you will shortly receive webwork login instructions. Now, a few words about webwork: You may begin doing problems in any open problem set until it closes. In each problem set you will submit answers, either numeric and literal. In order to become acquainted with the syntax of webwork, do assignment 0 first. Above all, keep up to date: each assignment has a closing date, after which submitted answers are no longer recorded. And mark the examination dates on your calendar: there are no makeups.
