​This is a new page for school year 2016-2017.  (And a new set of notes will be available, so please stay tune.)

 

Notes used in the past would still be available at Kitty's another site at http://s1114001.wixsite.com/beyond-edcity-and-xg/kitty-s-notes so no worries if you were one of my students before summer 2016 :>

                    Final Exams of both (1003 and its answer

                                                         1012 and its answer)

General announcements (say midterm and final exams)

 - For office, office hours and special hours, please click contact

​ - Unlike other courses, we will NOT skip Week 1

 - Details of extra Cantonese tutorials were sent to your UST mailbox

 

 - [MATH 1003] If you know the time and venue of midterm 1, please tell me after class face-to-face, thank you very much (200161005.0530)

 

 - There are around 10 hard-copies of Pages 1 to 12 of MATH 1012 notes, which is mainly related to pre-Calculus stuffs, at my office.  If students of MATH 1012 do not get them in this week, then I would distribute them to students of MATH 1003, according to the first-come-first-served basis (20161005.0600).

Below you may find the answer keys to the problems we didn't finish on class, sorted by week.

You are strongly recommended to finish the exercises by yourself within a week or at most two.  Otherwise it could be very difficult for you to catch up with the content again.

​(Of course you are free to try so if you don't care about the grade.)

Announcement / Points to note:

+ Week 2:

 --- it would be good if you revise everything in MATH 1013 before next time we meet, although I understand that it would rarely be happened

 

+ Week 3:

 --- vote for the definition of a week at here

 

+ Week 4:

 --- please get all stuffs  of trigonometric functions back, we will need them since next week till the end of this semester; also, we define a week using plan A

+ Week 5:

 --- Friday's class reached P.10 only, we would con't with E.g.13 next week

 --- Arrangement for Monday's class: e.g. 11, 12 on March 6th and e.g. 13, 14 on March 13th, at the Math Support Center.  Please check in with your student ID card at the entrance.

+ Week 6:

 --- Not much time left so we would fix to the following next week:

 ------------ 05 mins :  everything on P.13

 ------------ 10 mins :  everything on P.14

 ------------ 15 mins :  Ex. 17(a), 18(a), 19(d) on P.15

 ------------ 05 mins :  E.g. 19 on P.16

 ------------ 10 mins :  E.g. 20 on P.16-17

 ---- (time remains:  part of E.g. 21 on P.17)

 --- and see if we could reach E.g.21.  After a few class when I get your progress, I would try to upload the remaining part (most likely to be e.g. 21) for your self-study before the midterm happens.

+ Week 11(a):

 --- We finished up to absolute convergence test after this week.

 --- Next week contents: 11.6   Ratio and Root Tests

 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ 11.8   Power series

 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ 11.10 Taylor series and Maclaurin series

+ Week 11(b):

Language Policies

Usually local students (especially 1012 students) would like to have Cantonese as the medium of instructions.

 

However there may be some students who only speaks English.

So, at the very beginning of EACH class (EACH WEEK), Kitty would ask to see if there is/are any non-local students.

We would use Cantonese ONLY IF there is NO international students in the classroom.

Notes used
in the past
Notes for
2016 - 2017
Fall Semester

So, there would be an extra Cantonese class for local           students (actually non-locals     are also welcome as long as you understand ^^).  Here is the policy for each course:        

          .          .          .          .          

MATH 1003:                              

Once (either Wed/Thur/Sat, we will vote for the date each time, and I would explain about the voting system on the first class) every two to three weeks, Kitty would be conducting a Cantonese class with the past contents on her notes.

There would be a total of 3 to 5 extra cantonese classes, depending on your reactions / responses.

          .          .          .          .

MATH 1012:

As I am teaching only two tutorials of MATH 1012 in this semester, Zeta (who is teaching 5 classes) would be conducting these extra cantonese classes instead.  As far as I know, he is going to do it every Friday 1900-2000 when it is a normal school day.  Venue is to be confirmed, and Kitty would update everyone once it is confirmed.
