Note it is possible, but unlikely, that unforeseen circumstances may cause me to alter some of the
information in the document. I will announce any such alterations in class. If your miss any
announcement because of inattention or absence from class, then you must accept the

Prerequisites: Minimum grade of B in one of Principles of Mathematics 12, Pre-calculus 12, or
equivalent, or Math120, or pass the Placement test. Complete details are in Math 100 course outline for
all sections 2009 Fall, which can be found at the URL above.
Course Credit: MATH 100 is the first course in a two-course (MATH 100 and MATH 101) introduction
to single variable calculus intended for students who plan to specialize in one or more of mathematics,
statistics, physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering, economics (in the B.Sc. program), or
mathematics education (secondary program). Note that Credit cannot be obtained for both MATH 100
and MATH 102.
Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 7th Edition, Edwards and Penney, published by
Pearson/Prentice Hall. The previous editions (6th and 5th) are also usable.
Calculators: The department has adopted a standard calculator: the Sharp EL-510R. This is the only
calculator that will be permitted for use in any course offered by the department. It can be purchased at
the UVic Bookstore, or elsewhere, for less than $10.
Course Content: Topics are listed in the Recommended Problems table, see page 3 of the course outline.
Math & Stats Assistance: If you need assistance, you are encouraged to go to the Math & Stats
Assistance Centre (locations and hours of operation are posted at www.math.uvic.ca). This is a free
service. It is staffed by able graduate students who are paid to help you. The Department of Mathematics
and Statistics also maintains a list of private tutors. You can get a copy of this list from the department’s
main office in SSM A425.
Tutorials: Math 100 has a one-hour weekly tutorial component, which you should regard as a fourth
hour of instruction. Tutorial participation counts as 4% toward your final grade. You will hand in
homework at the tutorials. Lengthy worked examples which are crucial information for passing the course
will be presented in the tutorial, not the lecture. Some topics of the material will be presented in lecture
format ONLY in the tutorial. You should plan on 100% attendance at the lectures and the tutorials.
Homework: There will be four homework assignments to be written out and handed in at the beginning
of your tutorial for grading. Grades will be recorded by your tutorial instructor, and will count 12% in
total toward your final grade. Important note regarding plagiarism of homework solutions: experience
shows that for every mark a person picks up by doing this, they lose anywhere from eight to ten marks, on
the midterms and the final examination, because they do not understand the material.
Evaluation: All tests will be set in the same format: part multiple-choice, part full-answer. Many of the
test questions will be similar to examples done in class, and to homework exercises. Sample final exam is
available on the course webpage. Individual participation during tutorials will be determined based on
marks for solutions to selected problems submitted by students at the end of each tutorial.

There will be no make-up midterm tests. If you miss a test due to illness, accident, or family affliction,
you must notify me as soon as possible, and provide a written request to be excused as well as supporting
documentation. In such cases, then your score on the rest of the term’s work will be used to determine
the score on the excused paper. Once marked, tests and assignments will be returned in class, or can be
claimed during office hours. Any term work that is not collected by the end of the final examination will
be recycled. If you have a question or concern about your mark on a test or assignment, you must bring it
to my attention within 7 calendar days of the date when it was returned in class.
The usual conversion of course percentage to letter grade is:

Departmental Grading Policy for Multi-Sectioned Courses: The Department of Mathematics and
Statistics has adopted the following policy in order to try to provide equity in grading in its multi-section
courses: The distribution of grades assigned in each section of a multi‐section course must be
consistent with the distribution of letter‐grades achieved by the section on the final examination,
or on the common portion of the final examination. This rule must be applied with enough
flexibility to permit assigning the same grade to students in the same section who have attained
the same Course Score, but with enough rigidity to guard against grade inflation or deflation. A
detailed explanation of how this policy is implemented is available at
http://www.math.uvic.ca/undergrad/grading/htlm or, the document Explanation of the Multi‐Section
Grading Policy of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics is available from the department
General Office, Social Sciences and Mathematics Building (SSM) A425.
Final Examination:
A three-hour final examination scheduled by the University at the end of the term will count for 60% of
your final score. The examination period is from Monday, April 12, 2010 to Friday, April 23, 2010.
Students are strongly advised NOT to make final plans for travel or employment
during the final examination period since special arrangements will NOT be made
for examinations that may conflict with such plans.
Off-schedule Final Examinations are not given except in accordance with the regulations on Illness,
Accident, or Family Affliction at Exam Time in the UVic Calendar. Deferred status is only granted for
Final Examinations.
