This course is designed for Engineering and Physics students, but the students from other majors also can benefit from the study of several areas of mathematics that apply to familiar areas of life.
Prerequisites: To be properly prepared for this course you need to be reasonably adept with material from Math 165.
Studying: I recommend that you read over the sections of the text before they are covered in class. After class, you should re-read the material and compare it with your notes. Then you will be ready to work the assigned exercises. You may find that you need to do more than the specified assignment to become sufficiently adept at working the problems.
Help: There is all sorts of help available for this class
