Announcements

Jan. 11, 2010.
The official dates for the April exam schedule are April 19th to May 1st.  The lateness of the schedule is due to the two week class suspension to accommodate the Olympics.  The students must wait until the exam schedule is released (mid-February) and they are certain of their exam dates before making any plans.  Students who ignore this warning will not be accommodated by the Math Department with alternate exam sittings.  The usual accommodations due to conflicts or hardships (as defined by UBC) will be assessed on a case by case basis.  There is also a possibility that there will be exams scheduled on Sunday, April 25th, in order to accommodate every course.

Jan. 13, 2010.

Are you a citizen or permanent resident of Canada?
Then you may want to consider NSERC Undergraduate Summer Research Awards (USRA):

Jan. 24, 2010. There was a typo in HW #3, Problem 5 regarding the definition of upper integral. It is now fixed.

Jan. 27, 2010.  Now we have additional office hours (run by Mr. Simon Rose) on Thursdays at LSK 202B for  9--11am.

Feb. 7, 2010. There was a typo in HW#5 Problem 1. It is now corrected.

Feb. 11, 2010. Final exam is now scheduled on April 20, 2010 at 8:30 am. (Location will be decided later.)

Feb. 11, 2010. In HW #6, Problem 4 was modified for more clear statements.

Feb. 12, 2010. Midterm exam will be on Friday, March 5, in class. It is important for you to look at this Midterm Guideline.

Mar. 15, 2010. There is a undergraduate colloquium series ( http://www.math.ubc.ca/~fsl/UMC.html ) in UBC. Your attendance is highly recommended!
