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.

If you want to take this course for University of Utah credit, first register for the course by going to the UOnline-TACC link above and following instructions.

The text used in this as well all classroom Math 1210-1220-2210 series calculus classes at the University of Utah is

Calculus with Differential Equations, Student Edition, by Varberg, Purcell and Rigdon, Prentice-Hall, Ninth edition. ISBN 0-13-230633-6

also listed as ISBN: 9780132306331. Supplementary notes by Prof. Hugo Rossi are also strongly recommended, and available on the Supplementary Materials page.

Here is a basic outline of how to proceed with the course. See the How To Succeed Page for more details.

Go to the "Syllabus and Course Information" link for information about the components of the course, and how they relate to grading.

Then go to the Suggested Textbook Schedule and Recommended Text Problems links. Additional reading and practice problems with worked solutions are found at the Supplementary Materials link.

Next do the Webwork assignment. Go to the Webwork link 1, login and select a problem set. In each problem set you will submit answers, both numeric and literal. In order to become acquainted with the syntax of webwork, do the Demo assignment first. Additional information is provided at the webwork links above Above all, keep up to date: each assignment has a closing date, after which submitted answers are no longer recorded.

You must register for exams two weeks in advance of each exam through UOnline-TACC. Mark the examination dates on your calendar: there are no makeups. You will receive a reminder when a new practice exam is posted about a week before each exam. It is best to try these exams before detailed solutions are posted a few days later. Previous practice exams and their solutions are also available, and are the best indicators of what will appear on the actual exams.
