Course Overview
This course in integral calculus complements technical content with applications and examples drawn primarily from life sciences. The course starts by calculating areas and approximating the area using thin stripes as an introduction to Riemannian sums, which then lead to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Applications of integration include determining the center of mass, calculating volumes and lengths of curves. After introducing different techniques of integration further applications are discussed in the context of continuous probability distributions as well as differential equations. After an exploration of series and sequences the course ends with an introduction to Taylor polynomials.
See the UBC Calendar entry for Math 103 for course prerequisites.

Announcements
- Happy 2018 and a good start into the new term!
- Requests for joining Math 103 or changing sections should be directed to the undergraduate chair ugradchair@math.ubc.ca after carefully reading the registration issues information page.
Exam Information
Detailed information on midterms and final exam will be posted here as the course progresses.
For an excellent preparation for exams, please check out the Math Exam/Education Resource (MER). The MER wiki embeds the Math 103 syllabus in the front page, so you can directly access problem types that potentially appear on your midterms and final exam.
The Math department also keeps and archive of past Math 103 final exams.
A list of formulas to be given on the exam can be found on the formula sheet page.
