Homework Solutions
Spring 2014 - update
This was extremely successful in Fall 2011 when it worked.
But I cannot figure up how to make it work now.
If you do, please email (girardi@math.sc.edu) details
and I'll post for all.
Thank you, Prof. Girardi
Fall 2012 - update
Cramsters has moved to Chegg. I'm not sure how well it still works.
If you can get it to work (for free), please send me details
to pass along to the other students so they can also take
advantage of this excellent source of help.
Thank You, Prof. Girardi.
From Fall 2011:
I have found a web site where you can view homework solutions to odd numbered problems in our textbook for free. You will need to:
You might want to try a direct link of http://www.cramster.com/calculus-early-transcendentals-6th-solutions-410 . (Someone please let me know if this works - thanks.)
From what I see, you can get solutions to odd probelms for free but have to pay extra for even problems. I assign mostly odd problems anyway so just use the free service. If you do have troubles with an even numbered problem, you can stop by my office and look at the Instructor's Complete Solution Manual.
Such student help resources are new to me. One student emailed me:
By the way, I am loving cramster for homework help. It helps with the little things I am stuck on. I feel like there would be a lot less to go over during recitation if everyone else used it as well.I assume most of you are working very hard in this class. Recall, rule of thumb: 4 hours of work outside of class for each credit unit. This is a 4 hour class so you should be doing about 4x4=16 hours of studying Math 142 a week (outside of class).
You young computer-aged students are so good with this kind of stuff that I'm sure you can figure it out - esp since I could! I used a slide ruler in high school!
