This website is your “one-stop shopping” for all matters related to our class. Please check for the post of the day every time we meet!
Here is the news from the first day:
You should have received a copy of my course policies with the instructions for WeBWorK on the other side. If you were absent or loose them ever, they are available as pages here on this blog. (Follow the links.)
Our course textbook is available at this link.
Here are the topics of the day: to be updated when I have time. Quick run-through now.
• The Real number system and its ingredients.
• Geometric and algebraic definitions of absolute value.
• Solving absolute value equations.
• Intervals and inequalities. Three notations.
Homework:
• Find and deal with your City Tech email: you must use this email address in WeBWorK and to join the Piazza discussion board. Also, City Tech is already sending you emails here!
• WeBWorK has been set up for this course. The WeBWorK is here. (corrected link)
Please follow these instructions: MAT1375 WeBWorK information Fall 2017 in order to log in. After changing your password and entering your citytech email, you may start on the Orientation assignment to get used to how WeBWorK works.
A common problem that occurs when people try to log in using iPhone is that there is automatic capitalization for the first letter when you type in your username or password. Check to make sure the capitalization is turned off (or turn it off) while you type!
AFTER you’ve done at least 7-8 of the Orientation problems, you should start on the assignment which is due by tomorrow evening 11 PM. Don’t wait to the last minute!
• Join the Piazza discussion board for this course by following this link. You will need to enter your City Tech email in order to join. I will post extra credit questions here from time to time!
• Also don’t forget the extra practice problems from the textbook. See the Course Outline for Session 1, up to #1.6 only.
See you on Wednesday!
