Please note: this web page is from a past edition of MATH 101. Make sure you go to the current MATH 101 web page to get the proper information.
The topics for MATH 101 are organized into 12 “weeks” as given in the table below. Each “week” below corresponds to a single WeBWorK assignment with the corresponding number. A “week” represents approximately 150 minutes of class time, not necessarily an exact calendar week. This table indicates the sections in each of the recommended textbooks where the week's topics can be found (not all topics appear in all books).
