However, we will use the free MyOpenMath aka MOM as our "Math Learning System". It contains online textbooks, the instructor-created lecture notes, assorted YouTube videos, homework assignments, exams, asynchronous communication tools, and much more. NOTE: The Gradebook will also be in MOM.

You can find access to MOM by clicking its (brown) button on the Canvas Course Home Page. For MOM registration information go to http://profstewartmath.com/General/myopenmath124EWR.html

c. Zoom - Required

The free online conference room called Zoom will be used for our class meeting, for contact (office) hours, and any other face-to-face meetings. You can find the Zoom Download Page at https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting.
