MA1505 Tutorial Blog (AY0809 Sem 1)

• Here is the page I built last semester for the module MA1506: http://jin.chenyuan.googlepages.com/ma1506, where you can find: 

1. The official solutions to all the tutorials (more indigestible than MA1505)
2. A./P. Leung’s tutorial slides (hand-written but with more details)
3. The ultimate solutions to all the tutorials (I wrote many remarks on the official solution to help you understand it)
4. The tutorial notes (just reminder you some important things, and some short-cuts)
5. A 33-page Revision used in IES seminar (It cost me 10 days to summarize and write the file, and I think it is enough for you to pass the exam, and get better results with more practice if the module coordinator does not change the syllabus)

• I have uploaded about 60 excellent books/practice exercises with their solution manuals on each relevant topics of MA1506 for your reference.   
   
  If you can access the shared folder: https://cid-957f4598794dd719.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Reference%20Books, you can find the books in the folders named "Differential Equation" and "MA1506 Reference". 
   
  If you cannot access the folder, ask your friends in group A08/A11/A14/B07 for help, I cannot add any more contacts to the accessible list of the folder.
   
• I will close the account MA1505 (a) live.com soon, but emails will be forward to my personal account automatically, and I will transform all the contracts to my personal MSN account: jin.chenyuan (a) hotmail.com. The skydrive resources will be available forever.

Dear all,
 
I have confirmed from your module coordinator. Two things here:

1. Spherical coordinates will NOT be tested this time (final exam 0607 Sem1 Q6(b)). Therefore, we only have three ways to solve a triple integral: cuboid solid; physical meaning; div theorem.
    
2. Using characteristic quadratic equation to solve 2nd order O.D.E. IS included in the syllabus, and may be tested in the exam (see lecture notes 11.1.8 and 11.2.4).
    
   I have updated the FAQ file to let you know clearly about the method already (Q19):
    
   http://cid-957f4598794dd719.skydrive.live.com/embedgrid.aspx/FinalExamFAQ or http://cid-957f4598794dd719.skydrive.live.com/embedrowdetail.aspx/FinalExamFAQ/SortbyContent/LN11|_2.4|52ndOrderODE|6.pdf

By the way, tutorial notes 11 and revision notes are available in Skydrive:

I will inform you the consultation schedule by the weekend.
 
Best wishes,

AY0708 Sem 2 (with solutions)

Not in the same syllabus:

02-05 MA1505:

1. (FAQs)
    
   I opened a new folder in SkyDrive: http://cid-957f4598794dd719.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Final%20Exam%20FAQ, and you can find some FAQs from your classmates. I will update the FAQ PDF file aperiodically. (The files in the subfolder are the same as the single PDF file.)
    
2. (Revision Bidding)
    
   For the schedule of the last tutorial (tutorial 11), if you need some review of the tutorial questions (I think your lecturer will do revision for you with 1-2 past years’ papers), please BID here: http://www.doodle.com/74u7hgf64t9349gu. (Bid before Nov. 3)
    
3. (Consultation Bidding)
    
   For the consultation schedule, since there were only very few students coming to my office for mid-term test, most of you like consult via MSN. So, I need your opinion, please also BID for the consultation schedule for the final exam: http://www.doodle.com/fu27bcfddw6m4vep. (Bid before Nov. 10)
    
   According to your responds, I will choose 1 or 2 days for face-to-face consultation. Once the schedule is determined, you can check the schedule from http://sites.google.com/site/nusma1505/ma1505/consultation-schedule-final-exam, and reserve a slot by email.
    
4. (Practice)
    
   For Past years’ papers and solutions, you can check the folder: http://cid-957f4598794dd719.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Examination%20Resources/Final%20Examination. Please note that some questions in the papers of MA1506 are also useful!
    
5. (Updates)
    
   For the latest updates of SkyDrive and Live Space, you can check the page: http://ma1505.spaces.live.com/recent/.
    

Don’t hesitate to consult once you have a puzzle.

Notes: (The notes will be modified and improved slightly before the make-up tutorial.)
