  • Quiz 1a with answers
  • Quiz 1b with answers
• The vector calculus QUIZ will be held during your practice class on Thursday 31 May (Week 12).
• You must sit for the quiz in the practice class shown on your University timetable, otherwise your mark cannot be recorded.
  
• You will need to place your student card on the desk during the quiz.
• The Vector Calculus quiz will consist of 15 multiple choice questions based on the material covered during lectures up to the end of Week 10. This material is covered in Chapters 1-5 (up to Section 5.3) of the Course Notes for Vector Calculus, in practice sessions 7-10 and in tutorials 7-10 (Weeks 8-11).
• The time allowed for the quiz is 40 minutes.
• Answers to the questions are to be entered on a scannable sheet. Please bring a soft lead pencil, and an eraser to the quiz with you.

• Linear Mathematics Slides
  
  
• Stephan Tillmann will use slides from time to time and post them (or a modified version) after each lecture. You can also find the notes written using the document camera. They may not make a lot of sense unless you also attended the lectures, and they will not be proof-read. If you miss a lecture, you need to find out what was written on the board and what was said and not written down!
