You are not required to buy a textbook. Free lecture notes are provided below. However, you are required to access wileyplus in order to complete online homework assignments. If you buy a textbook, make sure it comes with an access code. If you do not buy a textbook, you can purchase access to wileyplus separately. Access to wileyplus includes access to a (non-downloadable) online version of the course textbook; everyone will have a 14 day free trial for wileyplus at the beginning of the semester. Once you have your access code, you can input it to your online homework assignment in blackboard
Recommended Textbook: Hughes-Halett, Applied Calculus, any edition. The usual Hughes-Halett textbook for this course is a custom USC edition that is not sold on Amazon. The USC edition has some material that does not appear in the version sold on Amazon, but this extra material also appears in our freely available lecture notes.

First Midterm: Monday, September 24, 10AM-1050AM, SSL 150
Second Midterm: Friday, November 2, 10AM-1050AM, SSL 150
Final Exam: Wednesday, December 5, 2PM-4PM, THH 202.
Other Resources: The Math Center is located in 263 KAP and is open Monday-Friday from 8am to 7pm on most days. It is primarily run by math graduate students here at USC.
Email Policy: Exam Procedures: Students must bring their USCID cards to the midterms and to the final exam. Phones must be turned off. Cheating on an exam results in a score of zero on that exam. Exams can be regraded at most 15 days after the date of the exam. This policy extends to homeworks as well. All students are expected to be familiar with the USC Student Conduct Code. (See also here.)
Disability Services: If you are registered with disability services, I would be happy to discuss this at the beginning of the course. Any student requesting accommodations based on a disability is required to register with Disability Services and Programs (DSP) each semester. A letter of verification for approved accommodations can be obtained from DSP. Please be sure the letter is delivered to me as early in the semester as possible. DSP is located in 301 STU and is open 8:30am-5:00pm, Monday through Friday.

Exam Resources: Here is a page containing some old calculus exams. Here is another page containing old calculus exams. Here is a page containing final exams for Math 118 at USC. Solutions to the latest two 118 finals are here and here. Occasionally these exams will cover slightly different material than this class, or the material will be in a slightly different order, but generally, the concepts should be close. (Even the old Math 118 exams have different material than the current 118 class.)
