Math 105 Hybrid

Math 105 - Math In Society - Hybrid Course

Welcome to Winter Term, 2018!
This page is currently being updated for Winter Term. Check back for updates. If you are registered or on the waitlist I will be sending you directions to get started soon!

Free textbook: Math in Society (Low-cost optional print copies $18 at the bookstore) + Section D1 and Section D3
Some content will be in D2L and online homework will be in MyOpenMath

Tuesday Hybrid Class: The hybrid class is 40% in class and 60% online so we will only meet once a week and you will have more to do outside of class and online. You will be watching video lectures outside of class and there will be a class prep due on the first day. We will spend our limited class time working on the hardest problems together in groups.
