Math 242A, Spring 2002

Syllabus & Homework

On this page you will find a short syllabus for Math 242A 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 242 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 242..

Course Syllabus

The course is a continuation of Math 241A/251. The topics are integral calculus of a single variable, sequences and series and elementary differential equations.

This means that we will be covering most of Chapters 7, 8, 10, 12 and 18 of the textbook. We will try to maintain a rate of approximately one section per class period, but will slow down somewhat if this proves to be too ambitious.
