Announcements

• Grades are posted outside my office, sorted by student number. (The sheet displayed May 1 was wrong - it had the wrong set of student numbers). I have also mounted a version of the grades on the webpage, without student numbers, that can be used to figure out how you stood in the class. I raised the raw final scores (out of 100) by 7 marks, and then raised everyone who was even close to passing. This adjustment was comparable to that I had announced for the midterm grades. Anyone who wants to look at their exam is welcome to make an appointment to do so.
• Unfortunately, the final exam was not done as well as the midterms, so the failure rate for the course is higher than I had hoped. There were in fact many exams that were well done - congratulations to those people. But there were also many exams that were not well done. In particular, many people got virtually nothing right from the last third of the course (infinite series). This is the main reason for the higher failure rates - if someone was passing marginally based on the material from the first 2/3 of the course, but then got no credit for the last 1/3, then this would tip them over the line into failing.
• I was surprised this year at how few students came to class, and at how few students came to office hours seeking help. The key to doing well in this course is to come regularly to class, to ask questions in class whenever you don't understand something, to stay up to date with the homework, to do every single homework question assigned, and to come to the math lab or to office hours to ask for help with homework questions that you find difficult. Judging by how few students made use of office hours this year, I think many students needed to put more hours into homework than actually happened this year. If you failed the course and are retaking it next year, keep this in mind.
• If you cannot find old exams from club infinity, the following links will connect you to some exams from past years: Winter 07, Winter 06, Winter 05, Winter 04
• The scores for quiz 1 weren't recorded correctly, and as a result about a dozen of the results are missing. Please hand back your copies of Quiz 1, either in class or in the tutorial. If yours is one of the missing results the score will be recorded and the quiz returned to you.
• There is a student listserv, which will give math students information about upcoming events of interest. eg exam sales, or those connected with club infinity. See mailing list
• The text is Single Variable Calculus: Concepts, Applications and Theory, by S.O. Kochman, 2nd edition. You should have a copy of this, along with the accompanying Student Manual and CD-ROM. If necessary, you can get by with a copoy of the preliminary edition of this text.
• The student solution manual for the 1310 portion of the current edition of the textbook is not yet available. I have put a version of the previous edition of the solution manual on reserve in the library, and will assign problems that are in both the preliminary and current versions of the textbook.
  Note that the solution manual currently on sale in the bookstore is for 1300, not 1310, and is not suitable for our course.
