Solutions and handouts handed out in class.

The homepage for the online homework system for the class is at:

http://calculus.unl.edu/edu/classes/106fa07br/

A set of instructions for the EDU software on which the online homework problems are based can be found at http://www.math.unl.edu/resources/undergraduate/EDUstudentinfo.pdf There is a page where you can find practice problems for nearly every assignment, at http://calculus.unl.edu/edu/classes/math106practice/, but it seems to be of somewhat limited use....

While we wait for the bookstore to get in enough copies of your textbook (!), you can find the pages for your section exercises here.

Some calculus links:
A site called Karl's Calculus Tutor currently covers most of what would qualify as first-semester calculus, and some of the second semester, as well.

Some (mathematical) links that might be of general interest:

A site called SOS Math at the Univ. of Texas at El Paso offers pages of material on topics ranging from polynomial long division, the quadratic formula, and trigonometric identities, to Taylor polynomials, the Cauchy-Riemann equations, and Matrix algebra.
Another site covering similar material, including solved homework problems for you to practice on, is kept in Belgium.

Dan Sloughter has a web page containing Java programs for visualizing various mathematical concepts. My favorite is one which will draw the Taylor polynomial approximations for y=sin(x) .

Forget a geometry formula? Check this page at Trinity College.

A Java-enabled page for generating Pascal's triangle (or rather, the last two digits of each entry, which is good enough through the 24th line). What's the pattern of the even numbers in the triangle?!
