Welcome to the class page for Math 9C for summer 2019! This course will finish off topics in a first-year calculus sequence. Over the next five weeks, we will be covering sequences, series, Taylor series, parametrization, and polar coordinates.
We will be using the free online textbook APEX Calculus, Version 4.0, available for download at http://www.apexcalculus.com/downloads/. We will be covering chapters 8 and 9 in the book.
A detailed syllabus for the course is available here.
A tentative schedule of the topics we will cover is available here. This will be updated as the schedule changes (last updated 8/19/19 at 01:52pm).

- A reminder that the final will be on Saturday, August 31 from 8:00-10:00am in Skye 172. The UCR Math Wiki that I linked earlier has sample finals to help you study.
- The due date for Homework 8.7-8.8 has been extended to Monday Aug. 26 at 11:59pm.
- The due date for Homeworks 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5 has been extended to Monday Aug. 19 at 11:59pm.
- Midterm grades have been posted on iLearn. The average was a B-; the median score was a B. You can view the solutions in my Google Drive here.
