If you are absent from any classes, then it is your responsibility to obtain notes for that class and to check for any announcements concerning assignments, tests or exams that were presented in that class. The most important announcements will also be displayed on the home page of this web site for section 4 of MATH 2050.
MATH 1000 or six credit hours in first year mathematics. This section is reserved for students in Engineering One, Engineering Transition Term 2 or Pre-Engineering.
| Best seven of eight assignments: | 10 % |
| Two term tests (15% each): | 30 % |
| Final examination: | 60 % |
Assignments give you some much needed practice in the methods of linear algebra and enhance your chances of success in the test and the final examination, so it is important that you attempt all assignment questions yourself. The questions will be posted on this Web site only. Your attempt at each assignment should be written neatly on one side of standard paper (8.5"×11"), stapled, with your name, student number and assignment number written clearly on the top right corner of the first page. Assignments are to be submitted in class.
The solutions for each assignment will be placed on this Web site shortly after the deadline for the submission of that assignment.
The dates of the term tests are Friday 13 February and Friday 13 March, during regular class time. In the event of a University closure on a test date, the test will take place in the next available class for this course. The tests will take place in the regular classroom EN 2043.
No deferred tests will be offered. If a student presents an acceptable reason within seven days for absence from a test, then the missing score will be replaced by a score based on the other test and/or the final examination. If a student fails to submit an assignment by the deadline and presents an acceptable reason within seven days of that deadline, then the score for the missing assignment will be based on the average of the other assignments.
Assignments and tests will be returned in class, with the total mark written on an inside page. The scripts will be in alphabetical order. You should collect only your own script. You may not take (or look inside) the script of any other student.
You will need a calculator for the term tests and the examination. Only a simple scientific calculator is permitted, with no graphics or programming capabilities. No notes and no formula sheets are allowed in the tests or the final examination.
The final examination will cover the entire course. Where it is in an individual student’s favour, the weighting of the final examination for that student may be increased beyond 60%.It is the student’s responsibility to locate the time and place of the final examination. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics does not grant deferred examinations to students who claim to have misread (or been confused in any way by) the examination timetable. A student who is absent from the final examination for an unacceptable reason will receive a mark for that final examination of zero.
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers the possibility of a supplementary examination to students whose final grade for a course is in the range 45-49 and whose term mark is at least 50%. See Regulation 3.3 in the Faculty of Science section of the University Calendar for more detail.
