Online Instruction
The class will meet daily through Zoom (the link will be posted on Moodle) from 10am to 11am. There will be lectures posted daily in
Moodle (together with lecture notes). The Zoom meetings are meant to be a space for you to work on problems with me, whereas the lectures are to be viewed
on your own time. Each video will consist of one section from the textbook.
Homework
There will be written homework daily. The homework will be turned in and will reinforce the matertial learned in class. Collaboration in
the homework is permitted, however you must write your own solutions in your own words (or symbols). You should submit your homework via Moodle. You must also support your answers with the intermediate
steps you took to reach the answer.
You can find the homework assignments
for this class below:

Attendance
Students are expected to attend Zoom every day and to view all the videos posted.
Resources
- I will be available to meet through Zoom to answer questions..
- For all these topics there are also videos on YouTube explaining the topics. I highly recommend using the videos from
the Khan academy.
- Another useful online resource is Math tutor.
- The class will have four dedicated tutors: Jan Roessler, Joao Godoy, Karya Dean, and Zach Leonard. There will be weekly appointments to work on problems from the class.
