Math 1ZC3 Exam
Is anyone else dreading this exam? I don't find the textbook questions hard, but his tests are weird.

McClain's tests are a lot harder than Child's. I've been studying for a while and I still don't feel ready.

yeah like I'm looking at the last set of sample problems he posted. I've never seen some of those questions before. LIke #12 for example.

Edit: and the best part, no sample exam. Mind you his sample tests were nothing like his actual tests.

It's McLean!

It may be pronounced as Mc-Clain but it's McLean. Hell, he even made fun of himself on the first day that his name is Chris Mc-Clain not Mc-LEAN, thus mocking his chubbiness.

Hilarious. Love him.

Yeah i know i still can't figure axioms out can't find any good explanation that can clear that up for me also in the solutions or the profs notes it says axiom iv) 0+x = x+ 0 = x but in the supplementary text atleast that i have it says 0+x = x+0 = 0 anyone know which is right ? I think its the one the profs mention but I rather be sure.

not trying to thread-jack here, but does anyone know if the "intro to calculus II" from athabasca covers this course as well? I dropped 1zb3 in march and she mentioned that for the online course, its combined. lets just say, hypothetically, that i were to fail this exam in the morning. since i'm taking the course over the summer anyways, could i count it towards both b3 and c3? because that would be just lovely.
