Announcements:

• Important textbook and Webassign information:
  • All students must have access to Webassign in order to do the homework. UW has a special login page: https://www.webassign.net/washington/login.html.
  • If you purchased Lifetime of the Edition access to Webassign for the 7th edition of Stewart in Math 124 or 125, you do not need to purchase a new access code.
  • Students may use either a hard copy of the text or the electronic text available through Webassign.
  • If you did not purchase Webassign access for Math 124 or 125, the least expensive option is Webassign with the electronic text. The publishing company offers a deal to UW students to receive the text and access for $70: http://www.cengagebrain.com/micro/uwmathcalc
  • If you wish to purchase a hard copy of the text, the bookstore carries a custom version, listed as Multivariable Calculus, by James Stewart. You can purchase just the text (if you already have Webassign access from Math 125) or the text bundled with a Webassign access code (check with bookstore personel to be sure you're getting the access code bundled with the text).
  • WARNING: For those of you purchasing access for the first time, be sure you either follow the link above for the $70 access + e-book option OR purchase access bundled with the text from the bookstore. If you log into Webassign and follow their link to "purchase access on-line," they will NOT offer you the $70 Lifetime of the Edition deal (this price was negotiated through the textbook publishers, not through Webassign).
• For those students looking for an add code, I do not overload my courses and I do not keep a waiting list. Come to class the first week and keep checking on-line enrollments. The only way to get in is to find an opening online.
• During the first week, in Thursday's quiz section, your TA will do some examples of problems involving spheres and let you practice taking some derivatives and doing some integrals to remind you of the skills you learned in Calc I and II. Your first homework assignment is due on Tuesday, October 1, at 11 p.m.
