Piazza (text-based) discussion forum. You are encouraged to use this discussion board to ask any question related to course content. (Email me directly with any questions of a personal nature.) Ask! Chances are good that someone else will also benefit from your question. You can post anonymously if you wish. (Anonymous to all users -- including me.) You are also encouraged to answer other people's questions if you know the answer. Try to type any mathematics using the Equation Editor denoted by f in the post menu. This may take a little practice! You are required to sign up for a Piazza account no later than 11:50pm on Wed, Jan 4.

The nominal textbook for the course is Stewart's Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 8th edition. An 8th edition bundle is available direct from the publisher for $105 with free shipping, and an equivalent bundle can be purchased at the UB Bookstore for $95.
Because the graded homework assignments are not keyed to a specific edition,
an earlier edition of the book would also work fine. For example, the 5th edition has essentially the same content and you can get a used copy for about $10 (not including expedited shipping). If you do use an earlier edition than the 8th, you are responsible for figuring out the correspondences of section numbers and ungraded homework assignments.
