Resources

The number <em>e</em> is defined to be the value of <em>a</em> so that the slope of the line tangent to <em>y = a<sup>x</sup></em> at the point (0, 1) is 1.
The number e is defined to be the value of a so that the slope of the line tangent to y = ax at the point (0, 1) is 1.
ALEKS
Use ALEKS to complete the required pre-calculus module. Remember that if you do not receive a grade of 85% or higher in ALEKS by the first exam, your final grade will be dropped by one letter grade!

The ALEKS Class Code for all of Dr. Johnson's sections (011, 016, and 017) is UYVLC-TJXJ4.
Departmental 1060 Webpage
The math department's official 1060 page contains copies of old exams that you may use for practice. Do not assume this semester's exams will be the same as the tests from previous semesters!
Wolfram Alpha
Wolfram Alpha is essentially a stripped-down, online version of Mathematica. For the purposes of our class, you should think of Wolfram Alpha as a free, online graphing calculator.
Desmos Graphics Calculator
Another free, online graphing calculator that might be a little more intuitive than Wolfram Alpha.
Blackboard
Your grades to assignments, quizzes, and exams will appear on Blackboard.
Precalculus review
Some review pre-calculus problems.
