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.

To do the weekly assignment, you must go to Webwork (link 1 above), login and select a problem set. You will be sent by email information on how to access your webwork account. In each problem set you will submit answers, both 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.
