Marks and notes from Exam Review Session
December 13, 2011
As promised, I have posted marks for A03 and A04. Please make sure all the marks
are as you expect them to be. If there are any issues, please deal with them
before the final exam. The notes from the exam review are also posted. Enjoy
and good luck! -Rob
Exam Review Session
December 6, 2011
As discussed in class, I will be holding an exam review session on Friday, December
9th from 11am - 2pm in 201 Armes. This is a common exam review for all three sections,
and for that reason, you should expect the room to fill up quickly. It is RUSH SEATING,
so if you want to make sure you get a seat, come early (there are approximately 3 times
as many students as there are seats). Please bring questions to this review session.
I will not have any questions prepared - all questions and problems we do will be
initiated by students on a first ask first served basis.
Quiz 4/5's posted
December 6, 2011
See below. -Rob
Optimization worksheet, videos, etc
November 14, 2011
Added new worksheet with lots of optimization problems w/ solutions.
Added Chapter 5 lecture notes (which include some from Chapter 4 with some
modifications).
Taking over A05
November 14, 2011
As of today I will be taking over teaching MATH 1500 A05, TR 11:30-1:00pm. This website
is to be used for all three sections of the class. As such, I have changed my Campo
Hours on Thursday (the old time conflicts with A05) to the new time Thursdays
1:00 - 2:30pm. All students in A05 are expected to check this website regularly
and watch for updates.
Curve Sketching worksheet and full nice example
November 10, 2011
Posted curve sketching worksheet (with solutions), a nice "juicy" curve sketching example
(don't look at the answer until you give it a good try yourself!), some new videos that
do curve sketching examples, and Quiz 3A/B with solutions.
Chapter 4 notes and new videos posted
November 2, 2011
Also, I have added more worksheets on the derivative rules, but including logs now that
we have done them. -Rob

Proofs, Videos, Quiz 2, and more
October 17, 2011
Lots of long over due updates. For instance, the proof that (d/dx)(sin(x)) = cos(x) is
in the document of proofs. The document of proofs contains all the proofs you need to
know for the midterm exam, plus some extra slight modifications to aid in understanding
them. Please look through what's been added and ask questions as necessary. -Rob
More videos and chapter 3 lecture notes
October 7, 2011
I have posted the chapter 3 lecture notes, and more videos for this week and next week.
I hope everyone is keeping up with the homework! Remember my support hours (both in office
and in Campo): Not many people have been coming by, so I haven't been very busy lately.
Come by any time. -Rob
Quiz 1 & continuity worksheet Posted
October 3, 2011
For studying purposes, I have posted a link to Quiz 1 and it's solutions, below. Also,
I have posted a worksheet on continuity. -Rob
Instructional Videos
September 21, 2011
I have just now added some more instructional videos. Remember that these videos are
meant to SUPPLEMENT what you are already doing, and should NOT be used as a substitute
for coming to class, going to the labs, or doing the suggested homework in the book.
Also, remember that the professor sets what is expected of you in terms of showing your
work during class and that the notation used in a third party video may be different than
what the professor uses in class.
Registration Revision Period
September 15, 2011

Wednesday Office Hours cancelled
September 12, 2011
My son has a doctor's appointment this wednesday (Wed Sept 14), so I will not be in my office

test, you will know. It is advised that all students do this test as soon as possible. -Rob
Welcome!
September 2, 2011
Welcome to the official web page for MATH 1500 A03 and A04 at the University of Manitoba.
Other sections may provide students with the address of this website, but any announcements
on it are assumed to be directed to the students registered in A03 and A04 specifically.
