April 2
- Remember that there are still workshops this week.
March 22
- This week's homework assignment has been posted. This is the last assignment of the term. The written portion is
here and is due
next Thursday as usual on Tuesday, April 2. The WeBWorK assignment will not be due until the last day of classes.
March 15
- The written assignment for next week has been posted here. The current version was posted at
3:30 today; if you printed it out before then, double check to make sure you have the right copy. Note that for this assignment you will
need to look up some extra information (dimensions of the Great Pyramid, the UBC clock tower) in order to solve the questions.
- WeBWork has also been posted - all 15 questions are due next Thursday, as usual.
March 12
- For those who didn't receive the handout of related rates problems in class today, it's been posted below under lecture notes, or
look at it here.
March 8
- This week's homework has been posted on WeBWorK
and the written part is here.
- Note that the written part looks long, but
each question is fairly short, so it shouldn't be too time-consuming.
- For this week's WeBWorK, you will receive 5 marks for finishing the assignment from last week (2.6) and the other
assignment, 2.7 is due this upcoming Thursday as usual.
March 7
- The animations on desmos from today's class are here and here.
- I discovered the answer key for our textbook online. You can download it from this website.
March 6
- There's been a change to this week's WeBWorK: you need only complete 10 of the 15 questions by
this Thursday (March 7). The remaining 5 will need to be completed by next week (March 14).
- If you complete more than 10 questions for this Thursday, these will count both as bonus marks for this
week and as credit for next week.
March 1
- The next assignment has been posted on WeBWorK
and the written part is here. Note that optimization problems can be time-consuming to
set up, so starting early would be a good idea. I also highly encourage you to do the extra problems at some point in
the next two weeks.

- For more practice, look at the ExtraProblems sets on WeBWorK.
- Exam questions on the Math Exam Resources wiki,
particularly questions 1a-c and 9 (although the other questions might be a good review as well!)
from the 2011 exam and questions 1a, 3c, and 9a-f from the 2010 exam.
- Recall that this midterm will contain one question from the December exam, as well as a question
based on the workshops. The question from the December exam will be from the common part of the exam, which
consists of the first 8 questions.
- Old exams on Fok's page here,
here,
and here. Note that because the syllabus for this course
has been slightly different every year, it might be more helpful to look at previous year's December exam
instead of their second midterm.

not be on the list for an alternate sitting and will not be able to take it at that time.

here. This is the last homework of the term.

there seems to be an error in the answer.
- The WeBWorK set Resources Survey has a link to a survey researching math education at UBC. It is due next Tuesday,
the 20th, and there will be a dropped homework score if you complete it.
November 9
- This week's homework has been posted here and on WeBWorK.
- A reminder to those of you who are required to complete the precalculus practice set on WeBWorK - by this point you should be at least halfway through the set or close to finishing.
November 1
- This week's homework has been posted here and on WeBWorK.
- I highly recommend doing some extra problems computing derivatives using the product and quotient rule - any of the practice problems in sections 3.1-3.4 of our text would be good.
I can provide solutions upon request.
October 30
- The link for UBC's job action page is here and
the link to the TA union (CUPE 2278) website is here. Both sites have an FAQ for undergraduate students;
the CUPE 2278 site also has general info about what the job action hopes to achieve and so on.
- You should assume that everything (class, workshop) will happen as usual unless you get an email from me. Because it takes a day or two to schedule the next
stage of job action, if for some reason class or workshop is canceled, you will likely find out at least the night before.
- Note that if you choose to not cross a picket line and thus may have to miss class or a workshop, you must notify the dean of your faculty by
October 31st at 3:00 PM.
- If you have any questions, email me and I will either answer your question or send it to someone who can.

Because the course outline has changed, there will be some material on these previous midterms that
we haven't covered yet. If you don't recongnize a concept (like continuity), skip the question.
- There are a few errors in the solutions for my posted review questions; see the course goals page for details.
October 12

Course Goals page. I will post hints later today
