Online resources:

• Webwork is where you do your online homework. You cannot access Webwork from a computer off campus directly for security reasons. To access Webwork off campus, use Virtual Lab. Virtual Lab runs a virtual computer, which behaves much like a computer on campus, in a window on your own computer. You enter your usual Gustie username and password to login, and once the virtual computer boots up, run a browser in it and acccess the Webwork website through that browser.
• I use Moodle to post your grades periodically throughout the semester
• Handout on definitions of infinite limits
• Here is a list of the topics we have covered. It is updated before each exam.
