Tutorials
Tutorial for Group A: Mondays at 14:00 in E4
Tutorial for Group B: Thursdays at 14:00 in B245
Week 1
We began our study of Chapter 2, Vector Algebra. We looked at how to both visualise vectors and describe them algebraically. We learned how to find the magnitude of a vector, add them and scalar multiply them. We spoke about displacement vectors and introduced the vector product known as the dot product.
Week 2
We will continue working with the dot product and then introduce the cross product.
Test 1
The test will be in Week 5. There is a sample test in the notes.

Test 2
You will get a chance to view your paper in the tutorials of Week 13.
Academic Learning Centre Questions
P.163 & 171 the Q. 3s can be done together.
Week 12
We finished off the course by talking about centroids of laminas and centres of gravity of solids of revolution. There are marking schemes to Q.4 questions on pages 158, 168 and page 179. I have also done out some more examples of questions for 4 (c) on centroids and centres of gravity — I will give these to you in Week 13.
Week 13
There is an exam paper at the back of your notes — I will go through this on the board in the lecture slots:
- Tuesday 11:00 and 15:00
- Thursday 11:00
In the normal rooms.
Note you won’t get a question like Q.3 (c) but I have a replacement question done out.
We will also have tutorial time in the tutorial slots. You can come to any or both tutorials.
- Monday at 14:00
- Thursday at 14:00
Again in the normal rooms.

Test 2 & Continuous Assessment Results
Unless you excelled in the CA, you are identified by the last four digits if your student number.
The fourth column is your CA marks out of 30. The fifth column is the number of attendance warnings you have. PP is the pass percentage you must get on the final paper to pass. FP is the First Percentage you must get on the final paper to get a first (70%).
Note that the top six students had no attendance warnings. The average of the students with no or one attendance warning was 68 but the average of the students with two or more attendance warnings was 36.
You will get a chance to view your paper in the tutorial of today, 30 April and the tutorials in Week 13. Note if I have adjusted your Test 1 or Test 2 result (you will have received an email about this), this will not be reflected here (but will be on the CIT System).

Academic Learning Centre Questions
P. 147 Q.2, 11; P. 55, Q.2 (a), (b)
Week 11
We got as much of the first two sections done in our two lectures this week.
Week 12
Finish off the course.
Week 13
There should be a an exam paper at the back of your notes — I will go through this on the board and we will also have tutorial time.

Catch up Classes
…are finished; that is no Wednesday classes anymore.
Test 2
Test 2 will take place on Tuesday 28 April at 11 in B214. There is a sample in the notes (after P.140). Before or after the sample there is a quick summary of the chapter — you need to know all these formulae and ideas.
Because the test is so close I am going to say that the question on partial differentiation will definitely come from P.132, Q. 1(a), 2(i)-(iii). Also the question on error analysis will be one of Q. 2,3,4 on P.139.
Academic Learning Centre Questions
P. 132 Q.1; P. 139, Q.3
Week 10
We finished off partial differentiation, applied to it error analysis.
Week 11
We have one chapter to do in five lectures which isn’t ideal but I have cut some examples so we will be O.K. I am going to try and get as much of the first two sections done in our two lectures this week.
Week 12
Finish off the course.
Week 13
There should be a an exam paper at the back of your notes — I will go through this on the board and we will also have tutorial time.
