Here are some pointer for studying for the upcoming midterm (on Wednesday, 10/15).
- The main thing is the homework (assignments 1 and 2). You should work on any problems you were not sure how to do, or that you lost points on to make sure that you can correctly work a similar problem on the exam. If I asked you to do something on the homework, I might ask you to do it on the exam.
- Some problems on the old exams are relevant. Take a look in the Exam Archive (link at right) at:
- Autumn 2014 midterm 1 : all of it
- Winter 2014: all of it
- Spring 2013: all of it
- Winter 2013: all of it
- Spring 2012: just problem 1.
- Here are more problems for practice (these particularly include quantifiers).
- Let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to Math 300 B, Winter Quarter 2015.
The course discussion board is availble (link at right). Please take advantage of it to ask questions about homework problems or course topics. You might also use it as a way to arrange study groups. I will get immediate emails when posts are added to the board, so this is as good a way to contact me as email, but allows everyone to see my response.
For those students looking for an add code, I do not overload my courses. I will have a list you can sign in class. If there are openings, some student(s) from the list will be allowed to add. As long as you wish to add the course, you should attend every day. Wednesday of the second week of class will be the last day that I will allow adds to the course.
Be sure to read the Homework Guidelines pdf before you start thinking about writing up the first homework assignment.
The first homework assignment will be posted soon.
In weeks when homework is due, we will meet on Thursdays from 5:30 to about 7:30 PM in PDL C-401 to discuss the homework. This is optional, but highly encouraged, and you may come for all or part of the time.
