This is the page for information specific to sections 1A1 and 1A3 of MATH 100; See the Canvas page for course-wide information (assessments, course policies, and the like) including the link to the online homework (WeBWorK).
Ahead of each class you must read the relevant section from a textbook of your choice. Section numbers refer to the recommended MATH100 textbook; corresponding section numbers in a few other textbooks (refs [2,5,6,10] below) may be found in this coordination table. Suggested problems for each lecture are from the associated Practice Book.
