Math 126 Sample Schedule

The following is a sample schedule for Math 126 from a typical Spring Quarter. It shows ten weeks with one holiday on a Monday. Exam I should cover through the first part of Section 13.3 (up through curvature) and Exam II through 15.5 (mass and center of mass). The final exam is cumulative.

This schedule allows for one lecture-day of review for each midterm exam (assuming midterms are administered in quiz section) and two lecture-days for review for the final exam. During the Autumn Quarter, you may have an additional day of review for each exam; during the Winter Quarter, you will usually have only one day of review for each exam due to the extra Monday holiday.
