| Textbooks |
|
 |
Precalculus, 6th ed., Barnett, Ziegler, and Byleen (ISBN 0-07-286739-6) Available as hardcover, as three-hole punched loose-leaf, or as an e-book! |
 |
Thomas' Calculus—Including Second-Order Differential Equtions, 11th ed., by Weir, Hass & Giordano (ISBN 032149069X) Make sure you get the correct version of this text. It has "Chapter 17: Second-Order Differential Equations" tacked on at the very end of the book (after the Index, Table of Integrals, and the Credits)! |
These books are available for purchase at the Underground Textbook Exchange and the University Bookstore, but you can compare new and used prices at several different online booksellers at CampusBooks4Less.com. Warning: If you choose to purchase either of the (optional) Student Solutions Manuals, you may develop a syndrome known as over-reliance, which puts you at a high risk for over-confidence and, if left untreated, could result in severe exam underperformance. Use sparingly. |

These are the TAs, and their office hours. You should only see your own TA (or Dr. Gomez) during office hours, or make an appointment. Click on your TA's name to send an email.

Getting Help
The first step should always be to see your TA or Dr. Gómez during office
hours. If you can't make our office hours, send an email to set up an appointment
with one of us. You should also check out the following resources:
Classlist
An email Classlist has been created for important announcements about this course.
Your @wisc.edu or @students.wisc.edu email address is the one that will be used
for the list, as well as all other official communication from the University,
so check your email frequently. Also check your Junk Mail folder regularly,
as some ClassList mail may end up there! DoIT is working on this potential
problem.

‡From Section VI.14 of the UW Madison College of Letters and Science Handbook: "The time of a two-hour block for a class and/or the due date for a take-home examination may be changed only with the prior approval of the associate dean for Student Academic Affairs. Such changes are rare. Where a student has more than two (that is, three or more) Summary Blocks scheduled within a period of 24 hours, the instructor may, within guidelines adopted by the College faculty, reschedule a final exam for that individual student to avoid hardship."
