MATH 1300 3.00MW (Winter 2010)
Differential Calculus with Applications
Tentative Schedule
At the moment, this reflects the expected schedule, and what I expect the
various assignments, quizes, and midterms to be based on. What we actually
cover will depend on how things proceed, and I will update this page as time
goes on, to reflect that. Likewise, assignments/quizes/midterms will be
based on what we actually cover, not what my current projection is.
