Many of the files on this site are posted in PDF format. If you have any trouble reading them, try downloading the latest version of the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software.

  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.
