Syllabus & Homework

On this page you will find a short syllabus for Math 241 indicating the topics and sections of the text we will cover. You should check this page frequently to obtain your homework assignments.

Note on Homework

The information on this page is relevant only for the section of Math 241 taught by Prof. Guentner.

If you are in another section you may still find the page useful although precise dates and homework assignments differ somewhat for the other section of Math 241..

Course Syllabus

Math 241 is the first semester calculus course; the prerequisite is Math 140 or similar. We will discuss the fundamental notions of differential calculus of a single variable, including limits, derivatives and integrals (although techniques of integration will be studied much more thoroughly in Math 242). This means that we will be covering most of Chapters 1 to 6 of the textbook; we will cover these chapters in order, but will jump around somewhat within each chapter.
