Course Notes

This course will closely follow a set of comprehensive COURSE NOTES designed by Leah Keshet for this course. You can also buy the notes at Copysmart in the UBC Village (5728 University Boulevard).

Midterms and Final

The exams will be common across all sections of M103 at the same time. The Midterms will be in the EVENINGS. Makeup exams will not be administered. If you have a legitimate (and immovable) conflict, let me know by e-mail as soon as possible and some form of allowance will be made.

Midterm 1:  Feb.  8 05:30PM-06:30PM Chem B150
Midterm 2:  Mar. 14 05:30PM-06:20PM Chem B150
Final:  TBD

Grading

Homework: 13%
Labs: 7%
Midterms: 40% (20% each)
Final: 40%

Homework Policies

Homework will generally be due one week after it is assigned. All assignments will be posted on this website and I will let you know in class when a new assignment is posted. A majority of the homework problems will be drawn from a PROBLEM SET associated with the Course Notes. When posting an assignment, I will tell you which section it is from as well as which problems you are expected to turn in. On occasion, problems from another source will be assigned.

All homework must be turned in by the beginning of class on the due date. NO LATE HW WILL BE ACCEPTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Homework can be turned in at class or my office hours.  Also, scanned and e-mailed homework will not be accepted. For each assignment, selected problems will be graded thoroughly (usually on a 3, 4, or 5 point scale depending on the complexity of the problem) and the rest will be graded as either attempted or not attempted (for 0 or 1 point). Solutions for ALL assigned problems will be posted. In most cases, homework will be returned within 1 week of its due date.

Begin early. The best time may be shortly following the lecture while the material is still fresh in your mind. This is your time to determine if you understand the concepts. If not, look at the course notes. If that does not help, come see me in office hours. It is also useful to work with your classmates in order to share ideas and compare results. The work you submit however should be your own.

Keep your work organized and legible. A correct final answer is NOT sufficient to receive full credit on a graded problem. All work must be shown in a CLEAR and NEAT fashion. Problems which are not legible will NOT be graded!

The following policies must be followed on each and every homework assignment.
  • Full name written legibly at the top of the first page.
  • All pages are STAPLED together at the top left corner. A paper clip does not count, they easily come off and can bind your assignment to others in the stack. I will not have a stapler with me in class, so come prepared!
  • Write only on ONE SIDE of each page turned in. Paper tends to be see through, and writing on both sides makes it harder to read.

Labs

For a description of the labs see the lab page.
  • You must be registered in a lab section as well as the lecture section. If you have trouble getting into a lab section, come to the Math Department registration sessions.
  • You are responsible for completing six computer labs (see the lab page for more information). You can do the labs at home or in Leonard S. Klinck (LSK), Room 121 at any time.
  • If you are unfamiliar with the labs or do not have an account, you should visit the labs in the second week of classes (first week of labs). Your MATH 102 account from last term will probably still work but try it to make sure.
  • Any difficulties with the labs should be directed to the lab instructors, not me.
  • Labs should be handed in to me in class on the due date. All policies which applied to the homework outlined above apply to the labs as well. Be sure to put your full name, section number (the lecture section number, 201 not the lab section number), and the number of the problem that you did, at the top right of the page you hand in.


Other sections:

Other Important Notes

  • There are no make-up midterms but if you miss a midterm for a legitimate reason (e.g. illness, with a doctor's note), allowances will be made.
  • All marks are subject to scaling. This ensures fairness of the final grades across the sections.
  • Further information can be found at the main course website.
