MAT 137Y

The exam will cover material from the entire course. The distribution guidelines of marks on the exam are as follows: approximately one-third of the marks cover the topics since the third term test, approximately one-third of the marks cover the topics from term test 3, and approximately one-third of the marks cover the topics from term tests 1 and 2. That is, approximately two-thirds of the marks will cover material from the second term (integration to power series). A summary of all the topics covered in the course is in the course outline, which you can download from our home page. The exam is three hours long.

Calculators or other aids are not permitted. In addition, cellular phones, pagers, electronic devices, pencil cases or bags are not permitted on the desk and must be put away. The presence of any of these items during the exam will lead to an automatic investigation by the Faculty of Arts and Science and could lead to academic sanctions such as a zero on the final exam!

Review Sessions will be held on the Monday and Tuesday before the final exam. A schedule will be posted here shortly.

Exam Archives are available online, however we will post an archive that goes back a few more years. When available, it will be posted on the right hand sidebar of this webpage.

Schedule Conflicts. As you may or may not know, examinations are the responsibility of the Faculty of Arts and Science, not the Department of Mathematics. As such, any concerns about the scheduling of your exam must be forwarded to your college registrar. The instructors are not able to help you out in this case.

March 22: Problem Set 11
Two versions of problem set 11 were erroneously posted. We will be using the version on Portal as the official problem set, as announced by e-mail, so please discard the version that was posted on this website earlier.

March 22: Universal Makeup Test Cancelled
The universal makeup test is cancelled. For students who have missed a term test and submitted documentation, your course mark for MAT137Y will be recomputed as follows: The final exam will be worth 60%, the term mark will be worth 40%, and the term tests will still be weighted so that they are worth 75% of the term mark. Therefore, if you wrote two term tests, each term test will be worth 37.5% of the term mark. If you have any further questions, please contact Joel.

March 5: Term Test 3
The third term test will take place Wednesday March 10. The test begins promptly at 6:10 p.m. and ends 8:00 p.m.

Test locations will be posted shortly.

The test covers material from Problem Sets 7 to 9 and Problem Set Supplement 2 (up to and including Section 8.5 of the textbook).

The test consists of roughly five to seven questions with parts. Your solutions will be marked in a similar fashion to your assignments; marks are awarded for justification and presentation. You should not expect all questions to be identical or similar to the problems in your assignments; the term test will require you to demonstrate your knowledge, understanding, and mastery of the material. You will not be asked to prove theorems such as the Mean Value Theorem, however you are responsible for understanding these theorems and you may be asked to prove statements which require the use of these theorems.

Students are advised to arrive at the correct location at least fifteen minutes before the test begins. Students who arrive late to the test room will not be given extra time. Misreading the timetable above is not a valid excuse for arriving late. You must write the test at your assigned location.

Calculators, scrap paper, or any other aids are not permitted during the test -- the minimum penalty for a violation is usually a ZERO on the test! Please bring your student card and make sure it is on your desk during the entire test. Cell phones and any electronic devices are also not permitted during the test: possession of these devices constitutes an academic offense.

Faculty regulations state that when a student has a conflict with another course lecture, the lecture takes priority. If you have a valid schedule conflict, you may write the early sitting from 4:10-6:00, location TBA. If you wrote the early sitting for the second term test, you are automatically permitted to write the early sitting for this term test. If you did not write the early sitting of the second term test, please contact Joel by by e-mail by this Tuesday, stating your name, student number, and the course which conflicts with your schedule. If your schedule conflicts with both sittings, please contact Joel by e-mail as soon as possible.

March 1: Problem Set Supplement 2
Instead of a problem set due this week, we will replace it with a problem set supplement that will not be required for submission. Your problem set marks for this course will now be determined by taking the best 9 out of 11 problem sets.

February 5: Quiz 3
Quiz 3 will be written in tutorial on the week of February 8. The quiz will consist of four questions covering the material from Problem Sets 7 and 8. The quiz will start at half-past the hour.

January 28: Term Test 2 addenda
If you have submitted your medical certificate to your instructor or filled in your flu declaration form on ROSI, then you are automatically permitted to write the universal makeup test, which will be in late March.

January 9: Term Test 2
(Updated January 12) The second term test will take place Wednesday January 13. The test begins at 6:10 p.m. and ends at 8:00 p.m.

Test locations are now posted at the right hand sidebar. Please know the location of the room well in advance.

The test covers material from Problem Sets 5 and 6.

Faculty regulations state that when a student has a conflict with another course lecture, the lecture takes priority. If you have a valid schedule conflict, you may write the early sitting from 4:10-6:00 at UC 266 (University College East Hall). To write the early sitting, you must obtain permission by contacting Joel by e-mail by this Tuesday, stating your name, student number, and the course which conflicts with your schedule. If your schedule conflicts with both sittings, please contact Joel by e-mail as soon as possible.

An archive of term test questions from past years along with solutions will be provided shortly.

January 9: Tanya Firsova
We would like to give a warm welcome to Tanya Firsova, who is replacing Franklin Vera Pacheco as our teaching assistant for tutorials T2B and T3B. We also thank Franklin for his work during the last term.

November 27: Quiz 2
Quiz 2 will be written in tutorial on the week of November 30. The quiz will consist of four questions covering the material from Problem Set 5 (Chapter 3 and Related Rates on Section 4.10). The quiz will start at half-past the hour.

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.
