Some sample comments

You may download a free copy of Mathematica at the link: Mathematica Download Page.

Textbook: Calculus by Stewart, 6^th edition. I have put several copies of the book at the reserve desk in the Collier Science Library that you may borrow for a couple hours at a time. If you are buying a copy of the book on-line, it is very important that you get the 6^th edition – otherwise the homework problems won’t match up.
