Final exam information: The final exam is on December 21, 12:00 noon, in MATH 105. The exam will cover all course material, but with slightly more emphasis on the more recent topics which were not covered on the midterms (Chapter 7 of the textbook). Books, notes, or calculators will not be allowed.

Old Math 101 final exams are posted on the AMS web site at http://www.ams.ubc.ca/services/exam_database/math_exams.html. Exam packages, which include old exams together with solution sets, will be available for a nominal price ($5-$6) from the Math Club, Math Annex 1119, starting Nov. 29.

Course web page: http://www.math.ubc.ca/~ilaba/math101

Homeworks and handouts are available here.

This is an honours section of Math 101, covering the same topics, but in more depth and with more emphasis on harder exercises. Some theory (rigorous definitions, theorems, proofs) will be given, with emphasis on logical thinking rather than memorization.

Prerequisites: A grade of 5 in AP Calculus AB, or 75% on the Calculus Challenge exam. Registration is only possible through the Mathematics Department.

Your course mark will be based on the homeworks (10%), two midterms (20% each), and the final exam (50%). The midterms will be held on Wednesdays, October 6 and November 3.. The final examination is on Tuesday, December 21, 12:00 noon. Attendance at the final examination is required, so be careful about making other commitments (such as travel). Grades may be scaled.

Homeworks will be due every Wednesday except the midterm days. If you cannot come to Wednesday's class, ask a friend to hand in your homework, or bring it to my office by 3 PM. The lowest two homework scores will be dropped. You are encouraged to discuss the homework with other students, but please write up the solutions on your own. It is best to get started on the homework early in the week; if you have any questions, please feel free to ask during office hours.

Academic concession. If you are unable to write a midterm or hand in a homework on time, and if you: you will be eligible for academic concession. The default is that your course mark will be based on your other work (homework: 10%, midterms and final exam: total of 90%). If you would like to make up for the missed work in other ways, please discuss it with me as early as possible.
