- * When a problem calls for graphical or numerical approaches, you are to use Mathematica . This way, you get to practise using the software before you enter Calculus, in which the software is part of the course.
- &dagger Due dates will be announced in class as we go.
- All work must be shown on every problem that you turned in; you need to show the mathematical steps from the beginning to the end. If you would like to earn partial credits from the TA, you need to explain how you arrive at the answer - explain verbally, if you have to.
