MTH 101A 19-20

First Course Handout contains information related to instructors, textbook, important dates, weekly schedule, attendance policy, examination policy, and the course plan.

I will roughly follow lecture notes of Prof. Shunmugaraj which can be found here. 

I encourage everyone to Go Green by avoiding printing notes and problem sheets.
