The exam will cover all the material of the course, with emphasis on the most recent material which has not yet been examined. As usual, calculators are not allowed. The exam is multiple choice. There are two parts. The first part has ten questions worth one point each. The second part has twenty questions worth 2 points each. Here is a practice exam for you to use for preparation (answer key is at the end). A collection of practice problems will be posted shortly.

30 October 2012 Practice problems for the upcoming midterm. An answer key will be posted shortly. A practice exam (answer key at the end). Review sessions for the midterms are organized through the Math Help Centre, and are scheduled on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon/evening of next week. Review sessions will focus on the practice problems, but bring your own questions as well.

29 October 2012 Second test coming up in less than two weeks! Thursday, 8 November, in the evening, for 90 minutes. If you have a scheduled conflict (lecture or exam in another course, highschool commencement, religious occasion, ... ) go to the lab website here, to request to write at the alternate time, which is Wednesday, 7 November at 17:45. The test rooms will be posted shortly, along with review problems and a practice test.
                        The test covers sections 3.11, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.7, 4.9, Appendix E, 5.1, 5.2 and Maple Labs 2 and 3. You will not be tested explicitly on the material of the first midterm, but of course, you need to know much of this material in order to do the later material.

24 October 2012 Dr Haskell's office hours on Thursday Oct 25 are cancelled. Sorry about this. Try to see me another time.

11 October 2012 Solutions to Midterm 1.

If you have any concerns about the grading of the exam (for example, you want to see your scantron card) visit Dr Haskell during office hours.

5 October 2012 Dr Haskell's lecture 14 (Friday Oct 5).

1 October 2012 The answer keys to the practice problems and practice exam are a work in progress; keep checking the files below, as they are being updated!

30 September 2012 The practice midterm posted below now has the corrected answer key.

28 September 2012 Review sessions for the upcoming test are scheduled through the Math Help Centre. Look at the MHC calendar for dates, rooms and times. The review sessions will focus on this collection of problems for you to practice on in preparation for the test. (The answer key is at the end.) There is also a practice exam for you to try out (read the disclaimer on the front).

21 September 2012 First test coming up in two weeks! Thursday, 4 October, in the evening, for 90 minutes. If you have a scheduled conflict (lecture or exam in another course, highschool commencement, religious occasion, ... ) go to the lab website here, to request to write at the alternate time, which is Wednesday, 3 October at 17:45. To find out your assigned time and test room, click here.
                   The test covers sections 1.6, Appendix D, 2.5, 2.7, 2.8, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.8 of Stewart, and Maple labs 0 and 1. It is assumed that you know the review material as outlined in the review assignment (WebAssign 0). A sample test and recommended review problems will be posted here soon.

21 September 2012 Dr Conlon's office hours changed slightly (see below).

18 September 2012 Marks are now available for the Maple Lab #0 and WebAssign #0. Remember that both of these are worth zero points towards your final grade. They were practice in using the system, as well as a review of Grade 12 material. Go to the lab website here to check your marks. You can look at Lab #0; your mark is recorded at the top of the page, and the correct answers are given. Lab #1 is now available. Click on Math 1A03/1ZA3 Marks. You will see a list of labs and assignments. Next to WebAssign #0 there will be either a blank, or a number, or NS or ND. If there is a blank, that means that your WebAssign account (if you have one) was not matched with your student ID number. Now is the time to call WebAssign and have this fixed. If there is  a number, this is your mark (out of 52) on the WebAssign assignment; this should agree with the mark you see on WebAssign. NS means that your account was identified but you did not submit the assignment; ND means that you did not download the assignment.

18 September 2012 Dr Harper's office hours changed slightly (see below).

14 September 2012 Here is a handy guide to values of the trig functions at the standard angles.

14 September 2012 Here is a link to some notes created by Dr Contreras.

12 September 2012 WebAssign and Student ID numbers. First of all, Don't Panic! We have time to resolve this problem.
If you have not yet registered on WebAssign, include your ID number when you register.
If you have already registered on WebAssign, probably you did include your ID number. After the first assignment is completed, we will download the grades from WebAssign. If your mark does not get posted, you will then know that your ID number is not in the record, and at that poin in time the problem can be addressed.

11 September 2012 If you are buying WebAssign separately, and need to decide the duration of your access, here is some relevant information.
WebAssign will be used as well for Math 1AA3, 1ZB3. If you plan to take these courses, buy the two-semester access.
WebAssign will not be used for Math 1B03, 1ZC3.

11 September 2012 Did you register for WebAssign but not include your student ID number? Here is what WebAssign has to say about it:
Unfortunately if a student does not include their student number when they create their account, there is no way for them to add it at a later time.  However, we have the ability to update their accounts. 
So I would recommend you have your students contact us directly to have their ID added.  They can either do so by calling us at 1.800.955.8275 or through the website, starting here http://webassign.force.com/wakb2
So call or send email while you are logged into WebAssign.

Required and recommended problems

A minimum amount of work to keep up with the course, is to do all of the required problems and labs, as well as all of the recommended problems. Probably you will need to do more than this. All odd-numbered problems from the text have worked solutions in the solutions manual, as well as brief solutions at the back of the book. The challenge problems are to encourage you to realise that there is more to the ideas we are working with than the calculations sometimes indicate. You are encouraged to discuss these problems with your colleagues, your TAs and your instructors.
