Fall 2006 - 1271 Calculus I
In Fall semester 2006 I lead four discussion sessions to the 1271 Calculus I lectures by Huiqiang Jiang (sections 013 and 015) and Jiaping Wang (section 053 and 055). We meet Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:00AM in VinH 211 (Section 013), at 9:05AM in VinH 211 (Section 015), at 1:25PM in AmundH 116 and at 2:30PM in RapsonH 56.

Literature: "Calculus, Early Transcendentals", J. Stewart, 5th edition.

Sections 013 and 015: You may also want to consult F. Valiquette's website for additional material.

"Calc I duscussions are like 'Twin Peaks' - nothing is what it seems to be and no one knows what's going on..." - quote from an early teaching evaluation.
