Recommended Texts:
Sudipto Mollik's Concise Calculus 2 is available on our Canvas Shell for download.
This textbook was written for our Calc II class at NAU, and follow the WeBWorK sets closely.
Sudipto Mollik’s Notes.
This is an older, web-based, version of the pdf. It does not have homework problems, but we will
be using webwork.
The “official” textbook is
Whitman College Calculus,
by David Guichard and friends.
However, this book does not align as well as Sudipto’s pdf or notes with the topics we cover.
The old text book was Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 3rd edition, by Rogawski and Adams.
If you want to buy a paper text on line, this is a good option.
A good online text is
Paul’s notes,
by Paul Dawkins of Lamar University.
Our Calc II class has some material that is found in Paul’s
Calc I
and Differential Equations
notes.
The Wikibooks Calculus textbook is pretty good, too.
Because NAU paid for a site license, you can now get Mathematica on your own computer!
Details are at nau.edu/math/wolfram-mathematica/.
This is a good webcast introducing you to
Mathematica.
An excellent web-based calculator is www.desmos.com/calculator
Most homework is assigned and graded using WeBWorK. Your username and password is the same as for LOUIE. (A typical username is abc123.) Use any WeBWorK link at this web site, or type in https://webwork.math.nau.edu/webwork2/JSwift_137/.
This link has detailed information on WeBWorK (in pdf format). Some of the information is out of date. Your username and password are the same as for Louie.

Aside from my office hours, we have lots of free help available.
The Math Achievenment Program (MAP) room is at the bottom of the big stairs, in AMB 137.
Starting August 30, it will be open M-Th 10-6 and F 10-2. This is staffed by Peer Math Assistants (PMAs).
Free drop in tutoring and one-to-one tutoring is available at the North and South Academic Success Centers.
