(Note: As of Spring 2017, the course formerly known as Math 220 became Math 120.)

Syllabus part 1: Course information page, for all of Tim Pilachowski’s sections (textbook, academic honesty and grading information)

Syllabus, part 2: Course schedule, Fall 2023, 02** Tim Pilachowski’s sections (important dates, including exams)

IMPORTANT: The 14^th and 15^th editions differ slightly. See the notes on the course schedule.

The e-book available in MyMathLab is the 14^th edition.

The MyMathLab access code includes the availability of an e-text, and is cheaper for you than purchasing the text/code bundle from the bookstore. If you want a paper text you can either 1) use a copy from the reserve shelf in McKeldin, 2) purchasing the text/code bundle from the bookstore, or 3) purchase a used or new copy from an outside source.

By agreement with the publisher, the same MyMathLab code that you use in this Math 120 class will also work for Math 121 or a repeat of Math 120.
