Math 112: Transition to Calculus

Fall 2008, L. Peterson

Announcements

This is a part-term course. The course will run from August 25, 2008 through October 10, 2008. The class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays only.

The final exam for this course will take place on Thursday, October 9, 2008, during the regularly scheduled class period.

The textbook for this course is a set of photocopied notes entitled "Lecture Notes for Transition to Calculus." These notes should be available for a modest price at the Barnes & Noble bookstore, located at 775 Hamline Street in Grand Forks. If Barnes & Noble does not have any copies of the notes in stock, then you may need to talk to the people at the textbook counter and ask them to order a copy of the notes for you. It appears that Barnes & Noble is the only bookstore that carries the notes for Math 112.
