Getting a copy of Stroll

A Stroll through Calculus covers many of the concepts of calculus in an informal way with little more than intermediate algebra (and later, some trig). It's an attempt to help people understand what's going on without intimidating proofs or formalities, because the basic notions of calculus are both straightforward and elegant.

Anyone who wants to obtain a copy of A Stroll through Calculus can use this direct link to the publisher:

https://store.cognella.com/25177

If you need any help with ordering from Cognella, feel free to email orders@cognella.com or call 800.200.3908 ext. 503.

Stroll is listed as a required textbook on ARC's online Follett bookstore pages for Math 402 and Math 499, but copies will be on reserve in the library so you don't have to purchase a copy. If you choose to buy a copy, you will get a better price from Cognella than from Follett (or Amazon), so use the provided Cognella link.

In-Person Calculus Classes for Fall 2021

American River College will be partially reopened for fall semester. My calculus classes (Math 401 and Math 402) are scheduled to be taught MWF mornings on campus in Room 212 of the new Bryant STEM Center. I have posted updated drafts of the course syllabi in the Box.net sidebar on this blog in case anyone is interested. They illustrate my plan to support both students who prefer online homework and those who prefer textbook-based homework. Anyone with a question is welcome to contact me at barcela@arc.losrios.edu.

Canvas sites will accompany both of my classes, but will not be hosting exams and quizzes as was necessary during the campus shutdown. Exams and quizzes will be in-person in our classroom.

In the meantime, enjoy your summer break.
