Oh, but on the Master Timetable it says that the tutorials are taught by the profs? Their names are right next to the tutorial sections.. :S |

Yeah, but that's probably not the case.

Is this class actually easier than Math 1M03? I thought it'd be harder since it's an actual math course, and not meant for the business class.

I haven't taken Math 1M03, but Math 1A03 was really easy in my opinion. If you did really well in highschool then you should have no problems in this class. The only thing is theorems that you have to know.

I used it for practise questions. You'll probably want to do practise questions before tests and the exam.
It's also useful when doing WebAssign (online assignments).

If you are taking both math courses (1A03, 1AA3) you will need 2 pin codes. They cost jut under 20$ each.
So, Old Book +40$ or New Book. Which ever is cheaper.

You'll get the website, your login and password from your professor. Most likely in the first class.
That means you can't buy the pin codes until you log in.

Math 1A03
All the professors are good in this course currently.
It's not that easy, but it's not extremely difficult either.
The material is boring because it's review until you get to integration...then the fun starts.

Lmao, the exam was BRUTAL! Possibly the worst exam I've wrote in my entire life.
So much harder than the midterms.

so i'm pretty sure that this course (at least this year) isn't nearly as easy as it was before.....definitely not like grade 12 all over again cause they go through everything a LOT faster and by the end derivatives are a thing of the past.....i think it has to do with david lozinski being course coordinator
