    Welcome: ... to Calculus! Our first class meets at 11 am, January 31, in the Center for Science & Technology, room 103.

    My key objective in this course is to help you develop confidence and comfort with calculus concepts and computations. In many ways this course is perfect for doing just that. I encourage you to approach the course with an open and inquiring mind, regardless of your previous (positive or negative) experiences with calculus or math. As your instructor, my objective is to give you my best and to help you in every way I can -- not only to learn the material and to perform well, but also to find enjoyment in the course! Together let's make this a great semester!
