Course Webpage
http://www.math.ubc.ca/~kliu/common105.html
The above page includes more information about the course, exams, course objectives, course outline, and includes practice problems. You are expected to keep up with the announcements on both pages.
Piazza
Piazza is a discussion board that everyone in the class is expected to join. It is a good place to ask/answer questions that you or your classmates have regarding the course/assignments, and for me to give announcements. To join search "Math 105 Section 211" and follow the instructions. I will be monitoring it often, so please be respectful to your classmates. I would recommend primarily posting questions here and reserve my email for more personal questions. This way we can avoid repeat questions. If you don't have a .ubc.ca account then email me with the email you want to use.
Evaluation
Your grade will be determined by assignments (6%), weekly webwork (10%), two midterms (17% each) and a final exam (50%). The Webwork and exam information can be found on the course webpage.
Final
You final exam is on at SWNG 122 from 8:30-11:00am. I have posted some finals from 2011-2013 in addition to the two on the common page. You can find additional finals here.
In addition here are some additional practice questions.
Midterm 1
Midterm 1 is on Thursday, January 29 at IBLC 261 from 6:30-7:30
Midterm 2
Midterm 2 is on Wednesday, March 18 at GEO 200 from 6:30-7:30. I have posted some addition sample midterms, but note that the model for your midterm 2 is the one of the common page. I take no responsibility if the samples below are a different difficulty than the one next week.

- (Mar 01) I have updated the notes and uploaded assignment 4. I will post solutions to assignment 3 before class on Monday, and we will have a problem solving session on Wednesday.
- (Feb 17) I have updated the lecture notes thus far. I have also made a midterm evaluation survey. Please take 10 minutes to fill this out, it your opportunity to tell me in an anonymous way, what you like and don't about this course and also have to time for me to do something about it.
You can access the survey Here

- (Feb 04) I have posted assignment 3. Due in class the Wednesday after reading week. This is a long and tough one, don't leave it until the day before!
- (Jan 25) I posted last terms midterm, and a few sample midterms with solutions. I have also updated the lecture notes. Let me know if there are any questions and see you on Monday :).
- (Jan 18) Assignment 2, Assignment 1 solutions and lecture notes up.
- (Jan 12) For webwork use the i,j,k notation.
- (Jan 10) I forgot to mention today in class that a contour and level set are the same thing. I will also go over trace in the beginning of Monday's class, but if you want to do those webwork problems today before then you can just read ahead in the notes. Btw the notes should be up. Also email me if you are still having trouble accessing the assignment, and I will e-mail you a copy. Until I have a class e-mail list, and everyone that plans on being in this section is enrolled/joins piazza, I make announcements here. I am still going to be answering questions related to the assignment/course material though piazza. Have a good weekend guys, and see you on Monday. Try not to work too hard ;).
