Dr. Freeman's Daily Schedule - (updated 3/15)
Calculus I Recitation
Mondays & Thursdays (Updated)
3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Room 630 (Updated)
These sessions are for students in all three Calculus I sections, and will be led by your fellow students who have excelled in both Calculus I & Calculus II. They are intended to be used for clarifying concepts discussed in class, discussing homework, going over Quizzes, etc. While optional, it is highly recommended that you attend at least once a week.
Official Learning Commons hours (office hours) for this course are Tuesdays Period 7 in Room 719D. However, you may also drop by Room 719D whenever I am free (see Dr. Freeman's Daily Schedule posted above), and I will help you if I am available. If you would like to guarantee my availability, or require more than 10 minutes, I would invite you to schedule an appointment, either by email or in person.

Welcome to Calculus I.
In order to enroll in Calculus I, you must have either (1) received a grade of B+ or better in Pre-Calculus, (2) passed Pre-Calculus and received a grade of C- or better in Foundations of Applied Math, or (3) have obtained explicit permission of the instructor. If you do not meet requirement (1) or (2) you must meet with me and obtain permission on or before Fri 2/5, or you may be automatically withdrawn from this course.
If you struggled in Pre-Calculus & Applied Math (for example, received a C in both classes), it is strongly recommended that you meet with me as early in the semester as possible to make a plan to ensure your success in Calculus I.
Problem Sets (Updated 4/15)
Note: Problem 3 was modified on Friday 4/15.
Due on Fri 4/22 (before the start of Spring Break). No late work will be accepted for any reason.
Correction: Problem 2 (g) should say "g(x)" not "f(x)". Corrected version is now posted above.
Homework (Updated 5/25)
(You are responsible for all Homework posted and/or updated before 5:00 PM the school day before the due date. Due dates are subject to change, so please check them carefully.)
Notes:
(1) Some assigned textbook problems have a "calculator graphing" component. That part of the problem (only) is optional; the rest of the problem is required.
(2) You can often check your answers to the even numbered problems using Wolfram Alpha.
This is all of the remaining homework!
