Textbook Information
The required textbook for the course is OpenStax: Calculus, Volume 1, by Strang, Herman, et al. This book is freely available online. We will study Chapters 1-4 of the textbook in this course. A list of the topics scheduled to be covered can be found on the course calendar.
You can buy a physical copy of the textbook in the UC San Diego Bookstore or you can get a physical copy from Amazon for a reasonable price. However, the book was designed to be a free electronic book, and it can be accessed that way directly from OpenStax. Please be aware that you will also need access to the Edfinity online homework system, which you will access through Canvas. You can buy access directly from Edfinity (for one quarter) for $29.
Exam Information
In this course, there will be three midterm exams and a final exam. All exams are remote; however, the exams will be held synchronously. That means that you have to take them at the scheduled time.

(The two-hour exam window will be 7:00-9:00 pm Pacific Time.) There will be no makeup exams nor will exams be offered at alternate times. However, we will drop the lowest exam score.
The Final Exam will be offered through Canvas Quizzes. The date of the exam, as listed in the Schedule of Classes and the course calendar is
