Math 100 - Section 106

Textbook Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 7th edition, by James Stewart. If you have an older edition of the textbook, that's good enough. But, you need to find out the corresponding textbook sections and question numbers yourself, perhaps by borrowing the current edition from a friend and transferring the information to your textbook.

  • There will be one week notice for quizzes.
  • Your lowest quiz/homework mark will not be counted toward your final grade.
  • Homework assignments will not be accepted after the due date.
    • How can I be good in this course?
    • Participate in lectures. Even if you think you know the materials! By experience, when you skip classes frequently that's the time that you should be worried about your performance in this course.
    • When you got home read your notes CAREFULLY and do examples WITHOUT looking at the solutions. Then, grab your textbook and find the corresponding section and DO EXAPMLES.
    • Do Homework Assignments which are selected from the exercises at the end of each section.
    • Do other exercises that you do not need to hand in.
    If you have any questions, you are very welcome to show up in my office hours and ask your question. Also, you can walk to Math Learning Center and ask for help.
    The common page for all sections of MATH 100 which includes: course outline, Learning Objectives, Suggested Homework Problems, Old exams and some policies.
    News: There are few review and problem solving classes which will be announce here.
  • On Monday Nov. 7th at 1pm-3pm there is an informal problem solving class in Math 103.
  • Quiz#3 on Tuesday Oct. 18th am from 8:00 to 8:15 in class. The quiz is going to be on derivatives, Sections 3.1-3.6. I'll give you questions about finding limits using derivatives (Section 3.3) and also finding derivatives using rules and formulas. You need to remember the table of formulas that we saw in last class, ie. derivative all those known functions and their inverses. Please redo all homework questions of chapter 3 and make sure you are comfortable with finding derivatives.
  • On Monday Oct. 17th at 1pm-3pm there is an informal problem solving class in Math 103.
  • On Monday Oct. 3th at 1pm-3pm there is an informal problem solving class in Math 103.
  • On Tuesday Oct. 4th at 4:30pm-7pm there is an extra office hour in LSK100C.
  • Midterm #1 on October 6th. I will upload a sample for midterm this week.
  • On Thursday Sept. 29th there is a quiz from 8 am to 8:10 am in class. The quiz is going to be on Sections 2.5 and 2.6. This time, I wont give you exactly homeworks' questions! So, limited time and more challenging questions.
  • On Monday Sept. 26th at 1pm-3pm there is an informal problem solving class in Math 103.
  • On Monday Sept. 19th at 1pm-2:30pm there is an informal review class in Math 103.
  • On Tuesday Sept. 20th there is a quiz from 8 am to 8:15 am in class. The quiz is going to be on Sections 2.2 and 2.3. The questions in quiz will be very close to Homework#1. I may even give you exactly some of homework#1's questions! If you are late, you will miss the quiz and your grad will be zero.
    • Assignments: Doing the homework problems is essential in order to do well in the course. I believe that it's impossible to learn mathematics just by listening to or watching someone who is doing mathematics.

    Print out the cover sheet and fill in your information (use your registration name). STAPLE your solutions with the cover sheet on top.
