Homework
There are two different textbook options you may choose in order to complete your homework. You may choose either
- Gilbert Strang and Edwin Herman’s Calculus Volume 1 and Calculus Volume 2
- James Stewart’s?Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, 4th Edition
Select homework sets are provided below for either option you choose. The homework prompts listed are a starting point to practice the material we learned in class (or from the videos). Some people may feel they need more practice after working through these prompts, and that is great to have that self-awareness! In this case, try some of the even prompts between the assigned odd ones.

Labs
Each day will have a lab that will cover a particular section of material that we have previously explored in class. You may work alone or in a group to work through the corresponding worksheet found below. These worksheets will?not be collected.
Periodically, a?Lab Report will be assigned on D2L. This lab report will be a collection of prompts that are either the same or similar to prompts from lab worksheets. This lab report must be written neatly on new paper according to the stipulations below:
- Each prompt must be clearly written out before beginning any work.
- Each new prompt must begin on a separate page.
- All of your work must be thoroughly shown for each prompt.
- Your conclusion must be clearly stated at the end of your work with any necessary units and exact values (unless otherwise stated).
- Lab: Day One
- Lab: L’Hopital’s Rule
- Lab: Extrema
- Lab: Optimization
- Lab: Antiderivatives
- Lab: Areas
- Lab: FTC
- Lab: Definite Integrals
