Suggested review
problems for quizzes are given in the table below. In addition,
quizzes (and solutions) are posted in the table below after they
have been given in recitation sections.
Problems listed in
the first table are taken from the course textbook, Essential
Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart. Any review
problems not taken from the text will be posted here in PDF
format.
Quizzes are normally in recitation on Thursdays.
There will be ten quizzes over the course of the semester. The
lowest two quiz scores will be dropped at the end of the semester.
