Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

The first two-thirds of MATHS201 covers multi-variable calculus and vector calculus, extending the one-variable calculus from MATHS101.

The last third covers more theoretical material, and the Gamma and Beta functions (taught by Yuri Litvinenko).

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/

Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

The assessment mark will consist of :

TWO Tests each worth 15% for a total of 30%

  • Test dates: Test 1 on Monday 2 May. Test 2 on Monday 16 May. Time: 6:15-7:15pm. Room to be announced.
  • If a test is missed due to illness or other good reason, the lecturer must be notified as soon as practicable. Appropriate documentation (for example a medical certificate issued by a doctor) must be supplied.

A assignment component of 20%

  • There will be 11 tutorial based assignments of which only the best 9 marks will be counted. Assignments should be your own work and copying may lead to referral to the university disciplinary committee.
  • The best (n-2) policy is intended to allow students to miss one or two assignments due to illness or other good reason without requiring us to process medical certificates. Where serious illness may cause a more prolonged absence, please consult the lecturer.

The external exam worth 50%

  • The "D" rule: The requirements for an unrestricted pass (C-­ or better) are a minimum overall mark of 50% for the whole paper and a minimum mark of 40% for the exam.
  • Exam will be held during one of the two exam weeks (20 June-1 July), to be scheduled centrally by the university.
