- 06.12
- Comment from TA for H2: HW2 was marked out of 20 for a total of 4
problems each worth 5
marks. I marked Problems 1, 2, 6 and 16.
- 06.09
- The last two subjects of section 4.2: similarity and application to
discrete dynamical systems, will be covered in the final exam, but not in MT2.
- 06.07
- The second midterm exam next Wednesday (June 14) will use the entire lecture time, 50
minutes. It will cover sections 2.1-2.3, 2.5-2.6, 3.1-3.2, and 4.1-4.2. There will be 4
computation problems and one Yes/No problem. The Yes/No problem will have 8 questions, and no
justification is needed. For your preparation, practice 4 has been posted, and practice MT2 will
be posted.

- I posted the cover page of the midterm exam. It contains the mark for each problem and the
rules. A change to the Yes/No problem: it contains 10 questions, and no
justification is needed.
Sample:
-
Circle the correct answers. No justifications necessary.
(a) True or false ? 1+1 is always 2.
(b) True or false ? 1+1 is sometimes 3.
(c) True or false ? 1+1 could be 0 in an advanced algebra course such as
MATH 501.
- (Answers: True, false, True.)
- For help, you can attend the TA office hour this afternoon
3:15-4:45pm,
or my office hour tomorrow 1:30-2:50pm.
- Comments from TA for H1: I have corrected Problems 3,10,13 and 14 from the problem set.
Each
problem counts for 5 points and hence the total marks are given out of 20 points.
- Final exam: Wednesday June 28, 2017, 12:00 noon-2:30pm, ESB
1013.

skipped. There will be 4 computation problems and one Yes/No problem. The
Yes/No problem will have 5 questions, and you need to give a one-sentence
reason for each answer. For your preparation, practice 2 has been posted,
and practice MT1 will be posted.
