Oct 19th Do not forget to bring your ID to the
exam.
Oct 19th You can access your scores for all
categories (homework and exams) in this class through your my.ucla
account now.
Oct 19th In the second sentence of Problem 33 in
3.5 there should be the n-th root
of |a_n| instead of the square root.
Oct 19th The following correction should be made
for those students that are in Fred Park's discussion 1c or 1d:
Fred Park:"The series problem sum((2n)!/(3n)!) was
discussedsed. I gave a correct sol'n. Then a student offered another
where:(2n)! = (2^n)(n!) (so get a geometric series). But this is
clearly false.
Oct 19th I will try to write up as many solutions to
the sample exam questions as I can before Monday morning. So
please check the exams page for
updates.
Oct 21st Go to the exams page

Oct 30th To answer the often occurring question, what
the curve on the exam, homework or final grade is:
In this class ROUGHLY the top 25% of students get an A, the next
35% a B, the next 30% a C, the next 5% and D and the remaining 5%
an F. This does not include the +- scale yet, which exists. So
you only get a rough idea of what your first midterm translates
to.
You can look up your grades on your my.ucla page. There
should be a link. Once you see your exam score (or homework
score), you can click on that, to see the statistics for the
exam, homework or final grade as well as your placement in the
class. For example:
Your Class Rank for this item: 103 / 129
which puts you in the 80% tile of the class (counted from best=0%
tile to worst 100%-tile), which would translate into a C ROUGHLY.
Oct 30th The results of midterm 1 are
available through your my.ucla account.

Dec. 11th Please note the following typo on the
handout for the final exam: for the second part about
orthonormal sets, the definition is reversed, i.e. it should
read =1 if i=j and equal to 0 if j is not equal to i,
and in the definition of the inner product of two
functions, the factor in front of the integral (square root of
2 pi) should not be there. As a result of those typos, you
will not be responsible for that part of the handout
on the exam.
