  • Midterm:
  • There will be a choice of an in-class or take-home midterm. Both midterms would be marked. You can attempt both tests, your mark will be the highest of the 2 marks that you receive.
  • In-class midterm: Wednesday, October 31, Rutherford Physics building, Room 112, 17:45-19:45.
  • Missed midterm cannot be redone. If you miss the midterm for any reason, the weights for your mark will be: Assignments 20%, Final 80%.
  • In-class midterm: pdf
  • Take-home midterm: pdf Due Wednesday, November 7. Do any SIX problems.
  • Home midterm solutions: pdf. Some problems also appeared in one of the assignments in the graduate course that I taught previously: problem set and solutions; the file is fairly long, the relevant solutions begin on page 21. Solutions to the problem about the Hausdorff distance can be found here.
  • In 2010, Robert Gibson compiled some definitions and theorems discussed in Math 354 in 2010 before the midterm.

  • Final:
  • There will be a three hour final exam. Date/Time: December 14, 14:00-17:00, Burnside 1B23 and 1B45
  • 2010 Final: pdf. Note that the material for the problems 3,5,6 was not covered in 2012 and will not appear on this year's final.
  • SUMS website should have arxived exams.
  • Supplemental: There will be a supplemental exam, counting 100% of the supplemental grade. No additional work will be accepted for D, F, or J.
  • Namdar Homayounfar compiled these notes for the course, this is a very good summary.

  • Grading: Your final mark will be the largest of the following: [20% Assignments + 30% Midterm + 50% Final]; OR [20% Assignments + 80% Final].
    WebCT: Your scores on assignments, midterm, final, and your final mark will be posted on WebCT
