Schedule of Lectures & Additional Resources

The tentative lecture schedule will be posted below. The numbers in the table indicate the sections of the OpenStax:Precalculcus textbook corresponding to the material presented in the lecture. The table will always be updated after class to reflect the material covered. If I think of any additional digital resources, they will be posted here.

The following sections were skipped: 1.6, 3.1. You are not responsible for this material on exams! The corresponding Edfinity assignments will be optional - worth extra credit if completed.
