When a range of problems is listed, your homework is all the odd-numbered
problems and the even-numbered problems ending in 4 and 8.
You need to be familiar with all the usual names and formulas from geometry. You have seen many of these before in your previous courses, but this section provides a review of them. Ask your instructor which you should memorize. Be sure to use your calculator as needed in all of this homework
Appendix D: 1-38
The algebra used in this course is mostly solving various sorts
of equations and using formulas. In your previous math courses,
you will have solved equations in several ways. We will review
these, to some extent, but we will focus on using this material
to solve applied problems.

For the official handout for a specific section, refer to the
one handed out in class during that semester. The Web version
may not necessarily be updated every semester, but I will update
it when I make any changes that I consider to be significant.
