Tutorial 1

Ryerson University

Sequences, Series and Basic Induction


Readings

This tutorial covers material from sections 4.1 and 8.1 of the textbook. Page and exercise numbers are from the course textbook.

The first few questions in each tutorial set are generally easier. Make sure that you do some of the more challenging problems as these will be closer to the level of the quiz questions.

Your TA will take up some of these questions in class. However, there will not usually be time to cover all the assigned questions. You may ask your TA about any of the assigned problems if you have questions.
