VCU Math 307: Syllabus.

Doing HW on time is the right way to learn math.It is recommended that you print this page to have a copy available for when you are not connected to the internet. Each problem set should be worked on as soon as we finish covering the corresponding section in class. For a list of problems from the First Edition of the book (now officially phased out) click here. However, it is highly recommended that everyone use the new Second Edition.
