Math 2: Calculus with Algebra and Trigonometry

Written homework assignments and reading assignments will be posted on this page.

Written Homework: The first written assignment will be assigned Friday, January 7 and will be due Thursday, January 13 by 10 AM. The second written assignment will be assigned Wednesday, January 12 and will be due Wednesday, January 19. All subsequent written assignments will be due on Mondays.

Written Homework Policy:

• Late homework will be collected and corrected, but will receive a score of 0.


• Homework is to be written neatly using 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper. Do not use paper from a spiral notebook unless you can tear off the ragged edge. All papers are to be stapled.


• Show your work. It is not your instructor's job to decipher what you mean by the symbols on the page; rather, it is your job to explain your work clearly enough to convey your understanding of the material to your instructor. A good rule of thumb: Explain and justify your steps as if the person reading your homework were another student, taking the same course, who had missed the last week of class.
• Use English. If you can't read your solutions aloud as fluently as if you were reading your textbook, try using nouns and verbs in your write ups!


• Consult the honor principle as it applies to this course.

Extra Credit

Successful completion of the Extra Credit assignment (a 3-page paper about an aspect of either the history or the applications of calculus) will change your lowest homework score to a 100%. You must meet with your instructor to choose a topic for the Extra Credit assignment by Friday, February 25; the paper must be turned in before the final exam, on Saturday, March 12.

Practice Problems

Below are some suggestions for problems to work on if you feel you need extra practice with certain concepts. Your tutors and instructors will be happy to answer questions about these; however, they are optional, and will not be collected or graded.
