Math 408L (Integral Calculus), Spring 2010

This is the page for sections 56585, 56590, and 56595 of Math 408L.

The first day handout contains all of the essential organizational information about the course, including the dates of midterm exams. Some of this information is repeated below for convenience.

Instructor

I am Andrew (Andy) Neitzke. You can contact me at neitzke@math.utexas.edu. My office hours are 1:30p-2:30p Monday and 10:00a-11:00a Friday, both in RLM 9.134.

Teaching assistant

The teaching assistant is James Delfeld. You can contact him at jdelfeld@math.utexas.edu. His office hours are 11:00a-12:30p Monday and Wednesday in RLM 10.146.

Homework

Homework is managed using the QUEST system. The final deadline is generally 3am Monday night (Tuesday morning). There is one extra review assignment (HW01) which is due 3am Thursday night (Friday morning) of the second week of classes, i.e. January 29.

Extra resources

A collection of useful handouts, provided by the UT Learning Center, is available here.
