WebWork: For this class we will be using the WebWork online homework system. This sys-
tem gives you instant feedback on your homework. Also, I can monitor the classes progress and
use this information to taylor lectures to the class. If you are concerned about using a computer for homework you are welcome to come talk to me about it. To get to WebWork go to

ADA Accomodations:The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that reasonable accommodations be provided for students with physical, cognitive, systemic, learning and psychiatric disabilities. Please contact me at the beginning of the semester to discuss any such accommodations you
may require for the course.
Tutoring Center and Computers: There is a free drop-in tutoring located in the math center.
I strongly encourage you to use this facility since interaciton in class will be dicult due to class
size. You can set up a group tutoring session for free as well. Since we will be using the WebWorks
system for homework you will need access to a computer. As math students you have access to the
undergraduate computing lab also located in the math center. Since the tutors are also located in
the math center it is easy to get help when you run into trouble.
Calculators: A calculator is not required for this class but, they are nice to have. For those of
you who will continue on to take math 1030 you will be required to have one for that class. I
recommend the TI-82. It will do everything that you will need for this class and math 1030 and
can be purchased for $12.00 on ebay. I once bought one for $2.00 at a yard sale. I would stay away
from the TI-85 and above. They are more expensive and more dicult to use. The TI-83 and TI-84
are good as well they will just cost you more money for things you might not ever use.
