Have a look around, paying special attention to the sections: Course Homepage and the Syllabus.  Please ignore any "due dates" of quizzes and other assignments - these dates are just guidelines and not deadlines.   Proceed at your own pace, but as quickly as you can.

On the homepage you will also find information concerning required materials for the class.   Also, you may review calculus I topics at my calculus I website, http://online.bc.cc.ca.us/mathb6a/  (same username and password given above);  but please don't submit any of those online tests - those are for my calculus I students.

This website is eternally under construction, so if some of the information pertains to an earlier class don't worry about it.   Just go ahead and submit tests and generally make yourself at home!

I'm here if any questions arise.   Please address all correspondence to me at mathprof@pacbell.net .

Maple and the Labs

Maple is incredibly powerful and useful.  This software will change the way you approach math problems for the rest of your life (really!!!).  

If you like, you may receive an additional unit (Math 21 - Maple Supplement to Calculus), simply by going through this course.   Your lab grade for the course would become your grade for the one-unit Maple class.  Again, if you have no need for this additional unit, you don't need to sign-up.  You may still do the labs, if you like (HIGHLY recommended).   But the labs are not required for this course.

The student price for Maple is usually $130, but by special arrangement with MapleSoft, you can purchase Maple for only $75.  Just go http://webstore.maplesoft.com/  .

For "Purchase Type" pick student,  and enter the following promotional code:   AP491010

For more info click here, or go here.

Note:  If you don't purchase Maple, you'll have to skip all the labs.   :-( 

If there is anything you don't understand about the course, or any comments or questions you might have, please feel free to e-mail me at any time. Also be sure to ask questions if you ever get stuck on any of the course material. There is no such thing as a "dumb" question.   My e-door is always open!

I look forward to having you onboard this class, and will do everything I can to help you succeed in mastering calculus.

Bon Voyage!
