Announcements

The final exam will be on Friday, April 25 from 8:30–11:00 am in the MacLeod building, room 214. Details:

Bring your student ID to the exam.
Nobody will be allowed to leave the room once the exam has begun.
No notes, books, calculators, etc. are allowed. Do not bring cell phones, pagers, or other items that will make noise; even if they are silent, you will not be allowed to keep them with you.

Solutions to the study questions for the final exam have been posted. These study questions focus on the material from the last few lectures; be sure to study material from earlier in the course as well, as the final exam will be fairly comprehensive.

Course Information

2002-2003 Term II
Tuesdays and Thursdays 2:00-3:30 pm
Mathematics 104
Textbook: Mathematical Thinking: Problem-solving and proofs by D'Angelo and West.
Prerequisites: MATH 121 or MATH 200, or a mark of at least 64% in one of MATH 101/103/105

Instructor: Prof. Greg Martin
Office: Mathematics 212
Email address: gerg@math.ubc.ca
Phone number: 822-4371
Office hours: Mondays 10:00-11:30 am and Wednesdays 1:30-3:00 pm

Description: We shall spend the entire first half of the course learning the foundations of mathematical reasoning, including mathematical logic, valid proof techniques, and proof-writing style and clarity. Then we'll proceed to topics in analysis (specifically, sequences and series). These topics correspond to Chapters 1–4 and 13–14 of the textbook. If time permits, we'll also include topics in discrete mathematics as well, all for the purpose of illustrating and gaining experience with logical proofs.

Use of the web: All homework assignments and other course materials will be posted on this course web page. After the first day, no handouts will be distributed in class. You may access the course web page on any public terminal at UBC or via your own internet connection. Accounts for the Mathematics department undergraduate computer lab (located in the MSRC building) will be given to any enrolled student who requests one; please email or visit the instructor to request an account.

All documents will be posted in PDF format and can be read with the free Acrobat reader. You may download the free Acrobat reader at no cost by following the link.

Evaluation: Every two weeks, there will be a homework assignment, an in-class team problem, and a quiz; there will also be a final exam at the end of the term. The course mark will be computed as follows:

Weekly homework assignments: 15 percent
Two in-class midterm exams (Tuesday, February 4, 2003 and Tuesday, March 18, 2003): 35 percent
Final exam (time and place to be announced): 50 percent

You are required to be present at all examinations. No makeup tests will be given. Non-attendance at the exam will result in a mark of zero being recorded. Unavoidable, documented medical emergencies are the only exception to this policy.

Homework will be assigned on Thursdays and due the following Thursday in class. Late homework will not be accepted. To account for forgetfulness or unforseen circumstances, each student's lowest homework score will be dropped. Missed homework will not be excused beyond this point, except for documented medical reasons.

Students are allowed to consult one another concerning the homework problems, but your submitted solutions must be written by you in your own words. If two students submit virtually identical answers to a question, both can be found guilty of plagiarism.
