Welcome to the MAT 137Y website for the 2009-2010 Winter Session.

If you haven't done so already, please make sure you have a copy of the course outline and syllabus which answers most questions about the course.

Official Announcements

November 9: Quickies
Problem Set 5 is due November 26, not November 19 as originally announced.

Also, there will be no tutorials and no Math Aid Centre hours on Wednesday November 11 (Virtual Monday). Lectures will run as scheduled.

November 4: H1N1 News
The University of Toronto recommends that all students with flu-like symptoms to stay home and not attend classes.

If you have H1N1 or you have flu-like symptoms (fever, runny nose, sore throat, coughing, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea), do not write the term test on Thursday and stay at home. You will not need a UofT Medical Certificate, instead you will need to do just two things: (1) contact Joel, and (2) register your flu-related absence on ROSI.

For more information, please see the UofT Preparedness Website regarding H1N1.

September 22: Math Aid Centre at WI 500
Starting this week MAT137Y tutors will occupy the Math Aid Centre at Wilson Hall (New College) from 12 noon to 5 p.m. The Math Aid Centre at Wilson Hall is located at WI500. Be there, get your questions answered and get to know the TAs.
September 18: Tutorial information is now available!
You will notice on the left sidebar of this webpage the listing of tutorial codes that go along with the tutorial rooms. The first thing you need to do is to find your tutorial code. To do this:
  • Log onto the University of Toronto Portal. (Clicking the link will open a new window.)
  • Under "My Courses", find the link to Fall-2009-MAT137Y1... and select it.
  • You'll arrive at the MAT137Y Blackboard Page. On the left hand sidebar click either "Tools" (between "Communication" and "Library Resources") OR "Course Tools".
  • You'll see a list of Tools (starting with "Calendar", "Digital Dropbox", etc.). Scroll down and select "UT Group Memberships".
  • You'll see your tutorial code, which is a three character alphanumeric code (such as M2A, T2B, M3C, etc.). Record it and memorize it! You'll need it for all your assignments and term tests. Now find the corresponding tutorial room on the left sidebar of this webpage.
There are over 50 students who are not yet enrolled in a tutorial!!
It is not too late if you are not yet enrolled in a tutorial or you need to request a change in tutorial time. The sooner you request a tutorial, the better the chances of getting the time you want! To do so, send an e-mail message to 137tutorials@math.toronto.edu with your name, student number and the tutorial times that you are available to attend. You cannot request a specific tutorial code; enrollment in a tutorial is based on available space. We will try to handle all tutorial requests within 24 hours. If you don't get a response before your requested tutorial time, you may attend any tutorial as long as there are seats available.

Just as a reminder, tutorials begin next week! Start your first problem set if you haven't done so already, and be prepared with questions.

September 17: I have used copies of the textbook for sale (without solutions manuals). If you are interested, please e-mail Joel.
