I have published your grades, including your letter grade, to BB.
The grades for the final exam are also posted anonymously to the grades
page.
It was a joy to have you as my students.
Good luck for the future! -- Michael Fochler --

Your points for your grade will be computed as follows:
QSum + Exam 1 + Exam 2 + Final + hwkAdj
|
| 5/14/2019 |
I have posted the grades of all 10 quizzes, all 18 homework assignments,
and both midterms to BB. The "hwkAdj" entry contains the
properly scaled points for your homework: I have taken your homework total
and multiplied it by 400/58 (58 was the perfect score).
I do not know whether there will be an adjustment to your total points
until I have graded the final exam. I intend to do that on Thursday.

Reminder:
My Math 330 review (not the UTS review sessions) will take place Sunday,
May 12, from 1:00 until 4:00 in WH 100 B.
If all students have left the session before 4:00 then I'll also leave
the class room, but you still can
find me at my office until at least 4:00 PM.

a.
Update to UTS finals review session
(see 5/4/2019 announcement)
•
Location: Academic A room G007
•
We will have a good amount of time to cover topics from section A07
of Number Systems.
•
Peter G and Matt P will be covering the earlier sections (2-5ish) of
the B/G textbook for the first hour or so. If people who missed that have
questions or want to see what was said, there's a good chance they will
have time to go back to that chapter.
b.
Additional hint for homework 18:
You are all set for part a since all you have to do for fixed x is show
that the sequence y_n = f_n(x) converges to 0 if x neq 0 and to 1 if
x = 0. For part b: do it by indirect proof. There are only 2 props and one
theorem in ch.13.3.1, and one of those three makes doing that part of the
assignment a triviality! You can submit your last draft of homework 18
Monday BEFORE NOON.
|
| 5/8/2019 |
The grades for quiz 10 and hwk 1-16 have been posted
EXCEPT for homework that was only submitted today.
|
| 5/5/2019 |
I will bring SOOT forms to class during next week's lectures.
These are the forms published by the Math department which ask you
to express your opinions about this course in free form rather than
giving a ranking on a scale from 1 to 5.
The forms are meant to be submitted anonymously, so
do NOT give your name.
The forms will be collected when you take your final exam.

| 5/4/2019 |
a.
Finals review session on Sunday, 12/5/2019 at 1:00 PM
It will be at least two hours, and you can come and go as you
please. I'll try to reserve WH 100B on Monday.
b.
You were supposed to let me know by April 27 if you need to take the
alternate exam on Thu 5/16. I have not gotten any responses.
c.
Matt Pressimone from UTS will give a finals review session:
"As with last semester, there will be a 3-hour session run by myself (MP)
and Peter Gibby during finals week. We have currently requested
Monday, May 13th from 2-5pm, but the time is not yet confirmed;
additionally, we are awaiting info from UTS on where the session will be.
The session will definitely cover the Beck/Geoghegan book;
I should also be able to cover additional concepts unique to some sections
(such as MF section A07)..."
|
| 5/2/2019 |
Homework 18 has been posted. Due Friday, May 10:
You only have one week, and I will give partial credit!
|
| 5/2/2019 |
Everyone of you will get a point for problem #2 of homework 15
since I gave a bad hint
and I made the problem harder than it should have been:
I defined X ~ Y iff X = Y or
[ X, Y not empty and there exists a bijection X ⟶ Y; X → Y ],
but I meant to write
X ~ Y iff card(X) = card(Y) (which is mathematically the same).
You would have been able to deduce reflexivity, symmetry and transitivity
simply by using the properties of "=".

those who have to rush to class from a previous lecture.

(normed vector spaces) through cor.12.1, before the definition of
area and net area.

Linear algebra tutorial session Sunday 4/12/2019. If no one claims it
I'll use WH 100B. Otherwise check my office door for the room.
The building may be locked, so I'll be at 12:00 at the MAIN ENTRANCE.
If you cannot get in then knock at the WH 100B window (if the session
should take place there) and/or try all WH doors.
|
| 4/12/2019 |
I am going to hold a tutorial session about linear algebra on either
Saturday afternoon: 2:00 - 4:00
Sunday morning: 11:00 - 1:00
Sunday afternoon: 2:00 - 4:00
Tuesday morning: TBD
Tuesday afternoon: TBD
Special considerations for Tuesday:
If I do this on Tuesday then the time depends on room availability.
For this reason I cannot guarantee a two hour time slot.
Also note that I'll talk about some of the basics already in
Monday's lecture, and I'd use some of Tuesday's time to fill in
some of the gaps I'll have left in lecture.
I will change my office hours if needed.
The decision when to hold the session will be made this afternoon in class.
If you do not come then you have no vote.
You can come and go to the tutorial session as you please.

I have published version 2019-01-31 of the MF doc. I corrected some errors
in ch.3. I also created for the first time in this semester and
"addenda chapter". It is named "Addenda to Ch.3", and it was necessary
because I added a corollary which thematically belongs in ch.3.4,
but including it there would have changed some subsequent references in ch.3.

get for one of the midterms!
