Text: Tom Apostol's Advanced Calculus 1, Second Edition
Hopefully this semester, the course will have
projects and additional drill which will complement the class
material. In the past couple of years, we lost some weeks to
snowstorms.
Most members of the class were in my section last
semester. There are some minor differences in the material
covered in the two sections.
You might also find it interesting to compare this course with the MIT undergraduate courses on calculus from a theoretical viewpoint. Look at the OpenCourseWare project at MIT:
http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/index.htm
Their course number is 18.014. They use the same
text but cover the material extremely quickly. They have a
different notion of course credit than we do and their course
carries significantly more credit than ours does.
MIT, Harvard have started a online consortium called EdX, which
is more oriented to students. It is developing day by day. You
might want to check it out every so often --- if you see
anything interesting, please report back to all of us. There are
at least two other consortia; they may offer interesting
courseware too.
I often follow the questions asked by the class
rather than my own notes --- so you should try to take good
notes and I encourage you to share them.

I will always be available, as often and as soon as needed, by appointment. e-mail is the most reliable means of contacting me.
Lists of homework assignments, projects and
other information for students are given as given as hypertext
links below. The lists are works in progress and will change
as the semester progresses.
Projects are available here.
New and important is a place where I'll put items as needed.
