DECEMBER 2010 FINAL EXAMS
BRING YOUR STUDENT I.D. CARD to the final exam
and KEEP IT WITH YOU when you write the exam.
You need to know your course and section number! Go to
the correct
location (at the correct time) for your course and section number.
You should also know the name of your instructor so you can write it on
your exam paper (this helps stray exams from being lost).
MATH 100 and MATH 180 have the same final exam. Last year's
December final exam for MATH 100/180
is given below.
The
UBC Math Club will be selling a package containing several
recent MATH 100/180 final exams together with solutions, starting
Mon. Nov. 29. These packages will be on sale in Math
Annex Room 1119. ($5 for Math Club members, $10 for non-members.)
SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE DECEMBER 2010 MATH 100/180 FINAL EXAM
Comments about this years final exam:
- No calculators, books or formula sheets are allowed. Also, cell
phones are not permitted.
- Question #1 is a multiple-part short-answer question, as
in previous final exams. It has 14 parts, (a) to (n), worth
3 marks each.
Boxes will be provided to put your answer in.
Full marks will be given for correct answers placed in the box,
but at most 1 mark will be given for incorrect answers.
Unless otherwise stated, it is not necessary to simplify
your answers for the 14 parts of Question #1.
- Questions #2#8 are full-solution problems, for which
all work must be shown.
Simplification of answers is not required
unless explicitly requested.
Numerical answers can be left as "calculator-ready" unless
explicitly requested otherwise.
- At least 2/3 of the questions on the final exam will be similar
to the suggested homework problems.
The homework problems are a good guide for material students
are responsible for.
- In applications problems, students are expected to be familiar
with both the Metric and Imperial systems. Note in particular
that in the Imperial system, pounds are a unit of force.
- Students are responsible for all topics included in this
years course outline. All of
these topics are contained within the relevant sections of the
textbook and Course Notes.

- in
§2.6,
students are not responsible for
Precise Definitions,
p.138-140;
- in §2.7,
students are not responsible for
Examples 6 and 7,
p.148-150;
- in
§3.4,
students are not responsible for
How to Prove the Chain Rule,
p.202-203;
- in
§3.6,
students are not responsible for
The Number e as a Limit,
p.219-220;
- in
§3.7,
students are not responsible for

- Sections of the textbook or Course Notes that are NOT in the
course outline (for example
Course Notes §3 Taylor Series, §4.4 l'Hospital's Rule)
will NOT be covered in the exam.
- The final exam will comprise 50% of students final
course grades. The final exam will not generally be weighted
higher for students who perform better on the final exam than
they did during the term.
Note however that term marks
for each of the sections of MATH 100 and MATH 180 will be scaled depending
on the sections performance on the final exam, as explained
in the Course Policies section of the MATH
100 and MATH 180 homepage.
