If you are not enrolled in the course, but are trying to add, you can get started on the homework without WebAssign by working the following problems in the textbook (which is freely available on the Math 120 Materials Website ).
Chapter 1: problems 1-10, 14,15
Chapter 2: 2-7, 10, 12, 13
These problems will have different numbers than the ones you will have on WebAssign, but if you write out solutions for these, it won't be too much trouble to rework them with the WebAssign values.
These problems will cover you through the first homework assignment.
Interested in switching sections? Go to this discussion board and look for another student who could switch with you.
Welcome to Math 120 A Autumn quarter 2013.
Announcements and other useful things will be posted here during the quarter.
Textbook: The textbook for this course is Precalculus, by Collingwood, Prince and Conroy. The book can be purchased at Professional Copy and Print, located at 4200 University Way (on the Ave one block south of the UW bookstore). It is not available at the UW bookstore.
You do not have to purchase the textbook. It is available electronically on the Math 120 Materials Website (link at right), and is linked electronically from the WebAssign homework.
Discussion Board: The course has a discussion board (link at right). This is a great way to ask questions of me in a way that will benefit all students in the course. You can ask about homework questions, studying methods, etc. You can also use it to coordinate study sessions with other students.
Homework: We will be using WebAssign for homework.
WebAssign: You can log in to WebAssign here. This will require your UW Net ID. Your UW Net ID is the part of your university email address before the @ symbol. The password to log in is your UW Net ID password.
You will need to purchase an access code before the grace period ends. You can purchase an access code on the WebAssign website after logging in.
The first homework assignment will be due on the night of Thursday, October 3.
