TEXTBOOK:
The ABC's of Calculus (ebook, $35; or softcover, $65; September combo special ebook+textbook for $80)), by Angelo Mingarelli (includes all solutions). The most current Edition is dated August 4, 2010. Older editions are no longer supported as there have been too many changes in the newest one.
Erratum to accompany textbook (some images were not reproduced clearly).

 

PREREQUISITES:
Do get advice from the instructor or from the Mathematics Undergraduate Advisor Ken Small, in 4380 Herzberg Building.
 

EVALUATION

Your final grade will be calculated either as:

(i) A: = Term Mark out of 40% + Final Examination Mark out of 60%; OR,
(ii) B: = Final Examination Mark out of 100% whichever is the highest.
In other words, your final course grade is the larger of the two numbers A and B above.

If you do all the homework exercises and tests, as well as the sample tests and final exams on this website, you'll likely pass (maybe even Ace it!).
 

TERM MARK:
The term mark will be derived from:

5 Term Tests BUT we choose the best 3/5, for (30/40);
AND
10% for attendance at tutorials.

Note: The "best x of y" rules allow you to miss some of the term events for any reason (medical or otherwise). In other words, under normal circumstances, if you miss a test for a medical or other reason then we still choose the best 3 out of 5 tests you will have written.
Only under highly exceptional circumstances will a test be postponed to a later date.

 

Students with disabilities requiring academic accommodations in this course are encouraged to contact the Paul Menton Center for Students with Disabilities (500 University Center) to complete the necessary forms. After registering with the Center, make an appointment to meet with me in order to discuss your needs at least two weeks before the first in-class test or CUTV midterm exam. This will allow for sufficient time to process your request. Please note the following deadlines for submitting completed forms to the PMC for formally scheduled exam accommodations: TBA for fall and fall/winter term courses, and TBA for winter term courses." 

CALCULATORS
You may use a non-programmable calculator for the examinations and tests in this course:
One of either Sharp EL-510RB (available in nearby stores) or Casio FX-260 or any other approved non-programmable calculator, such as the "GET", now available for about $2 in local Pharmaprix drug stores.

WITHDRAWING FROM A COURSE: Please consult a current Undergraduate Calendar for dates and other relevant information.

All tutorials will begin on TBA in various locations depending on your section given to you at registration

FAQ on Tutorials

Where do I go? Normally your section is given to you at registration time. Otherwise, this depends on your section letter and/or on the first letter of your family name; see the preceding paragraph for details about which room you'll go to.

Do I HAVE to go? Well, if you want to pass those tests and get your assignments to count on your behalf, then, YES, do go. If all you want to do is write the final exam, then that's OK, too; see the EVALUATION item above.

Who is my T.A.? Go the required class and ask him/her. There are too many changes for us to confirm TA's during the first few weeks of classes.

TUTORIAL CENTRE:

Please note that the mathematics TUTORIAL CENTER , in Herzberg Physics Building, Room 1160, tunnel level will open around Monday Sept. 15 and run for 10 weeks.  Regular hours will be from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm Mon. through Thurs.  One or two evening hours will be arranged after T.A. availability is known.The Tutorial Center is a drop in center where students in elementary courses can get one-on-one help in math & stats.  It is staffed mainly by graduate students and undergraduate TA's.
Tutors advertise frequently on the Notice Boards around the center.
