Schedule
Here is the tentative course schedule. Typically, sections are lectured during the week listed, then the webwork and recitation cover those topics in the following week. This schedule is meant as a rough course outline; there will likely be small changes as the semester progresses.
There are several webwork assignments due during the first 4 weeks. See the Math 161 webwork site for exact deadlines. After the BSE there is generally 1 webwork homework assignment due every Friday, at 11:59pm.
