Much of our work will require some visualization. Here, I will list some tutorials that describe a problem so we can work through the details.
Periodically, I will make videos to give extra examples for things we study in class. Here are some videos to help. All videos will be posted to the StoleeMath Youtube Page.
Also, there are lots of videos online, so I will link a few here that you may enjoy.
The following free online courses may provide a new set of resources for you to learn the material, but keep in mind that they present things in a different order. You may need to go digging to get the right stuff. However, you will be rewarded with a new perspective on the topic!
To reach the instructor, send an email to dstolee [at] iastate [dot] edu with "166" somewhere in the subject heading. By placing 166 in the subject heading, it helps me organize the emails so that I can be sure to respond within 2 business days.
Email is a professional, written communication medium and thus what you write in an email is part of the official record. Please treat every email as if it were a graded assignment.
Academic Dishonesty The class will follow Iowa State University's policy on academic dishonesty. Anyone suspected of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Students Office.
Disability Accommodation Iowa State University complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Sect 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
