Cal III (Winter 2012)

Marks

Cal III Marks
The final marks are finally posted. I will send these to the college soon.
Congratulations to all: you managed to survive the course(!) in spite of some disappointing exam marks (the tight gap between classes and the exam took its toll, sadly - I blame Physics!).
But you were a good bunch this term. Have a good and well-earned vacation, and good luck with your future studies.
NOTE: The average on my webpage is the average of all marks in the class, without any manipulation. The average the college posts has some manipulating done to it, following guidelines from Quebec. I am not sure about the details, but I think they do not count very low marks in the average, which would account for the discrepancy. Certainly, the calculation of the average on my website has no official status, and is never seen by the college. Equally, I never see the results of their calculation.

To let you review your work on this assignment (as preparation for the test) I am posting the answers - however, if you intend to hand in work for marks, be sure you don't just copy my answers, but show your own work.
Do the problems yourself first, check your work against these answers, and then try again, without copying my answers. Make sure you understand things well enough to be able to do the work on your own (eg on the test!).
I will post more complete solutions later.
