Math 111 Daily Schedule and Assignments

Perspective from the instructor:

This course is another step toward being fluent in the language of math. Like push-ups, and jogging, little of what you do in this class will have a "real" use in life. It's drill and practice on the way to some objective or another. But like push-ups and jogging, it can be invigorating , give one a sense of accomplishment, and build a stronger, healthier mind and body.

The prevailing objective of this as well as any other math course is to learn the language of math, which requires working lots of problems requiring use of new concepts and lots of old algebra. This course has been designed to engage you adequately in the material to accomplish this objective.

Note: We have 16 class days, (two of which I will miss but you won't), and 4 test days. The following schedule is driven by this fact and the course syllabus. Note: Quizzes are due at 11:59 PM on the day assigned.
