Instructor's Resource Materials

Sr. Barbara E. Reynolds, SDS

Cardinal Stritch University

Note: These materials were prepared for an earlier version of the text that relied on the computer algebra system Maple for interactions with the text. Those interactions have all been replaced by Sage interacts embedded in the text. Sr. Barbara's assignments, plans, syllabi, and tests are all still relevant to the current version, but ignore any references to Maple.
