Final exam.
The uniform final for all Math 131 classes will be held Thursday May 12 from 1:30 to 3:30 P.M. The location for the final will be announced later; it will depend on your section, and it will probably NOT be the usual room for the lecture or section meeting.

TA Sections.
You meet with your Math TA on Wednesday and with your life sciences TA on Friday. Unless announced otherwise, you can generally expect a quiz in your math section and a worksheet in your biology section -- graded events. The Wednesday quizzes AND the midterms will very strongly reflect your assigned homework.

Notes.
1. The lecture on a given day covers material indicated in the box for that day. The unexplained numbers refer to sections of the text ("Biocalculus"by Stewart and Day).
2. Some deadlines.
Feb. 5: last day of schedule adjustment for Spring 2016
(last day to drop a class with no W on the record)
April 11: last day to drop a course with a W ("withdrawal")
Other deadlines
