Class representatives

The following students have volunteered to be your class representatives. They will meet with the First Year Director from time to time to discuss all aspects of first year mathematics units. If you have any issues you would like discussed, please email your representatives and let them know your views. (Note: Do NOT email these people with mathematics problems!)

• Dominic Boyle
• Gabriel Nguyen

Lectures: Attend the lecture stream at:

    Thur 8:00 and Fri 8:00 in Chemistry Lecture Theatre 1.

Note the change of room: the lectures formerly held in Merewether LT1 move to Chemistry LT1 in Week 2.

Tutorials: All tutorials are on Monday-Wednesday. See your personal timetable.

A set of printed lecture notes is available from KOPYSTOP, 55 Mountain St., Broadway:

    INTEGRAL CALCULUS (ADVANCED), by D. Cartwright.

A second set of notes will be made available at KOPYSTOP before Week 7.   See the Junior Mathematics Handbook for a list of reference books which may provide useful background reading.   Second-hand copies of earlier editions are fine.

Tutorial exercise sheets for each week appear in the back of the printed lecture notes (see above).

Please bring these lecture notes to every tutorial unless a quiz is being held.

Alternatively, you may download the tutorial sheets separately here (see below). At the end of each week, the solutions of the current tutorial exercises will also be posted here.

There will be two quizzes, each worth 10 per cent of your course assessment for MATH1903.   Each quiz will consist of 10 questions, to each of which you will write a short answer (or answers) in the box provided.   The marking scheme is 1 for correct and 0 for incorrect or partly correct.

A blank sheet of paper will be supplied for rough working.   Your rough working will not be marked; only the answer in the box will be marked.   You must hand in your rough working at the end of the quiz.

At the start of the quiz, the only things that are allowed on your desk are a pen (not a pencil), a small nonprogrammable calculator (optional, unlikely to be needed) and your student ID card face up.   Everything else should be sealed in your bag on the floor.   Mobile phones must be switched off.

Important: you must sit for the quiz during the tutorial in which you are enrolled.

• Quiz 1 will be held in the tutorials in Week 6 (beginning 1 September).
  The quiz will cover material from weeks 1-4 of lectures and weeks 2-5 of tutorials.
  Scroll down for the solutions to Tutorial 5 (posted early), the solutions to Assignment 1,
  and a set of practice questions for Quiz 1 (with solutions).
• Quiz 2 will be held in the tutorials in Week 11 (beginning 13 October).
  The quiz will cover material from weeks 5-9 of lectures and weeks 6-10 of tutorials.

There will be two assignments, each worth 5 per cent of your course assessment for MATH1903.

Scroll down for Assignment 1, due Tuesday 19 August 2008 at 4:00pm.
Solutions to Tutorial 4 were posted early to assist you with the assignment.
Assignment 2 will be due 7 October 2008.

Your assignment should be posted in the glass-fronted collection boxes on the verandah of
Carslaw Level 3 before 4:00pm on the due date.   Please do not post your assignment before
the due date since the boxes are also used for the collection of assignments in other units.
