There is no textbook for this class. We will create a textbook with the use of the math binder. It is very important that each student have a binder and keep it up to date. In class notes will include all required definitions and examples of how to do each topic.

We will loosly follow the following textbook and topics in this book will be helpful if a student is absent or needs more help:
