GSI office hours:
Time and place: Lectures MWF 11-12 in 155 Dwinelle Hall. Students taking this class are expected to attend lectures, enroll in and attend one of the discussion sections, do weekly homework assignments, and take the two midterms and final exam.
Click here for the schedule of discussion sections (current as of Sept 6, 2004).
Section changes/Waitlists: Math 1A Head TA, Alfonso Gracia-Saz, is no longer taking requests for section changes. To add this course, you need to get permission from Prof. Haiman.
Check your grades: This class is part of an online grade book pilot program. You can log in with your CalNet ID to see your scores. Final exam scores will be up by Wednesday afternoon. Course grades will no longer be shown, but you can get them from TeleBears after I turn them in, some time on Thursday.
Final Exam: Tuesday, Dec. 14,
12:30-3:30, in WHEELER AUDITORIUM. Here are the final exam solutions.
You can find out your
score from the online grade book. Final exam scores were out of 150
points, with grade cutoffs A=120, B=98, C=70, D=46. Exams are kept on
file in the mathematics office, 970 Evans. You can look at your
graded exam after the beginning of the next semester.
Here is a practice final exam, with
solutions (solution to #5
corrected 12/10). You might also want to review the practice problems
for the midterms, below.
Here is some information about review sessions and finals week office hours (to be updated periodically):
Course Format: Three hours of lecture and three hours of discussion per week.
Prerequisites: Three and one-half years of high school math, including trigonometry and analytic geometry, plus a satisfactory grade in one of the following: CEEB MAT test, an AP test, the UC/CSU math diagnostic test, or 32. Consult the mathematics department for details. Students with AP credit should consider choosing a course more advanced than 1A.
Credit option: Students will receive no credit for 1A after taking 16B and 2 units after taking 16A.
Description: This sequence is intended for majors in engineering and the physical sciences. An introduction to differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable, with applications and an introduction to transcendental functions.
A quiz will be given each Tuesday in the discussion sections. There will be no make-up quizzes. Final grades will be computed from your 10 best quiz scores and 12 best homework scores, so it doesn't matter if you miss one or two.
The grading formula will be something like homework and quizzes 35%, midterms 15% each, and final 35% of the grade. Final grades will not be based on a curve or on previously fixed marks for certain scores. Instead the grades for the course will be based on my judgment of how well the class is doing, and will be higher if everyone is working hard at the homework and doing well on the exams.
Exam questions will be similar to randomly selected homework questions from the book, with minor changes. If you understand how to solve all the homework problems, you should be able to answer all the exam questions. Partial credit for for incomplete or wrong answers will generally not be given.
Grades on exams or quizzes will be changed only in cases of clear error on the part of the grader, such as adding up scores incorrectly.
You may bring one (ordinary sized) sheet of notes with writing on both sides to the exams. Apart from this one sheet, you may not bring textbooks, notebooks, calculators, or other aids. No notes on quizzes.
There will be no make-up exams. If you miss the first midterm, the mark for the second midterm will be doubled. If you miss the second midterm, the mark for the final will be increased by 40%. If you miss both midterms or the final then you are in trouble.
Most questions have answers in the back of the book, and many (the ones in red in the book) have hints on one of the CD's.
