If you have any questions or concerns about MATH 1070, feel free to reach out to the course coordinator, Hwan H. Lee, at hwanhel@clemson.edu. We’re here to help!

Spring 2026

• Course Syllabus (To be linked)
  
  
• MATH 1040 and MATH 1070 together form the year-long calculus sequence. This sequence introduces the fundamentals of single-variable calculus for modeling phenomena in engineering and science. MATH 1040 includes a review of pre-calculus and algebra, as well as topics such as limits, continuity, and an introduction to differential calculus. When combined, MATH 1040 and MATH 1070 cover the same material as MATH 1060.
  
  
• This course requires Edfinity for online homework. You can access Edfinity through your Canvas course. You can purchase Edfinity access either directly from Edfinity's website or by buying an access code from the bookstore. Please note that purchasing through the bookstore will be more expensive than buying directly from Edfinity.
  
  
• Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 3rd edition, by Briggs, Cochran, Gillett, and Schulz.
  • Options to access the textbook
            1. Purchase the loose-leaf textbook from the Clemson University bookstore 
            2. E-book: Access the e-text through Pearson+.
            3. Clemson Libraries has copies of the required class textbook, Calculus - Early transcendentals: single variable (3rd edition, 2019). The books can be checked out at the library's main circulation desk, and students can check them out for 4 hours at a time and renew them if no one else has a hold on the books. Students can also check on the status of the work using this link.
    
    The Library also has copies of textbooks for many other courses for you to check out through its Textbook Lending Program, and it encourages you to examine the works available through this link.

Bonus Opportunities

To promote the review of prerequisite skills and the early use of out-of-class resources, you have the opportunity to earn up to 1 bonus point toward your course average. Specific dates will be announced on the MATH 1070 course website and through Canvas announcements. Each participation instance will be worth 0.25 points, with a maximum of 1 point possible.

Coordinator's Note

These exams are intended to support your studies but should not be treated as practice exams. The score you assign yourself on a past exam is not a reliable predictor of your performance on future exams. Future exam questions may differ significantly from those on previous exams, and the topics covered can vary from semester to semester.
