\item{Text:} {\bf Calculus} by Hughes--Hallett, Gleason, {\it et al.\/}
This book was developed by the Calculus Consortium based at Harvard to
emphasize a thorough understanding of the material in order to prepare
students better to use calculus.
Please read the preface and the note to students.  You should plan to read
the textbook more closely than in more typical calculus courses and
before the classroom discussion of a topic as indicated on the schedule
of reading assignments.


\item{Calculator:} Use of a graphing calculator will be an integral part 
of the course.  Instructors will be using the TI-82.  Any graphing 
calculator you now own will be adequate.  The TI-81 is sufficient for 
the course.  You should shop around for a good price. 

\item{Assignments:} You are encouraged to discuss homework problems with 
your colleagues and to work together.  Working in groups makes 
explaining approaches and solutions a part of the process and helps you 
learn. Your goal is to find solutions and to communicate your work in a
convincing manner.


\item{Grading:} Grades will be based on

\itemitem{1.} Problems (100 points for problems attempted)

\itemitem{2.} Quizzes (100 points) These will be frequent, very brief and
based on material discussed in class.

\itemitem{3.} Hour Exams (100 points each) scheduled for February 16 and
March 29.
\itemitem{4.} Final Exam (200 points).





\item{}Our course is designed to help you do what is needed to learn
mathematics: read, question, experiment, think, talk, and write.
