Welcome to the MT101 course website.  This website is the primary way for you to get information about our course, including the homework assignments and (after the homework is collected each week) the answers to these assignments.  It also contains the syllabus  and the required calculator programs.  


Note: Many of the documents contained herein require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print. If you open a document and are asked to find Acrobat Reader, there is a copy in the Eaglenet Resources folder. If you need to install a copy on your computer, you may download a free copy from the Adobe web site.



First some information about MT101. Here is the course description as given in the Mathematics Department Calculus Course Descriptions web page:

MT101 is not open to students who have completed MT103. Students contemplating majors in Chemistry, Computer Science/BS, Geology/Geophysics, Mathematics, or Physics should enroll in MT103 Calculus II for Math and Science Majors, rather than MT101.

MT101 is a second course in the calculus of one variable intended for biology, computer science [BA only], economics, management, and premedical students. It is open to others who are qualified and desire a more rigorous mathematics course at the core level.

Topics include an overview of integration, basic techniques for integration, a variety of applications of integration, and an introduction to (systems of) differential equations.


Second, here is information about our class.  To take this class with Prof. Friedberg, you must attend the tri-weekly LECTURE and also attend a HOMEWORK DISCUSSION SECTION each Thursday. Students who do not attend class regularly do not achieve high grades.  The lectures are given by Prof. Friedberg, and the section will be led by our Teaching Assistant Mr. Ted Zarrabi.

SOME MATH LINKS

 

1. The Math Forum Student Center has terrific math resources for all levels.

2. Math Horizons is a magazine for students interested in mathematics that aims to expand their intellectual and career horizons.

3. The Math in Daily Life web site discusses this topic...so that's why we're taking this class!

4. Are you interested in history? Here is a website concerned with the History of Mathematics.

5. The Association for Women in Mathematics supports women in mathematics at all levels of study. The "AWM Resources" link connects you to many other sites with useful information.
