This is a Hybrid Course. That is, we'll have regular zoom live lecture meetings at the scheduled times and students are also expected to watch pre-recorded lecture videos for some topics that will not be covered during our zoom live lecture meetings. This course requires the use of an online homework system, and the purchase of MyMathLab access code. We'll use Canvas plattform with MyMathLab integrated. Orientation and testing will occur in an online format.
