Math 100

Welcome to Math 100!

I’m glad you are here!

This website contains materials for the Math 100 course as taught by Paul T Allen at University of New Mexico - Taos.

Printable PDF

A pdf version of this course material is available here: Math 100 Course Packet (pdf)

The pdf version is formatted so that it can be used as a workbook.

Solutions to exercises

Solutions to (most of) the practice problems and exercises are available at website version of these notes. There are two reasons for providing solutions.

• First, I encourage students to check their work, but only after they have attempted the exercises. Checking your work is a way to get immediate feedback about whether you are understanding the material.

• Second, it is easy to get tutors or various AI engines to generate solutions. However, those solutions might not be formatted or styled in a way that is appropriate for this course, or might even use methods that students have not yet learned. By providing solutions here, I know that students have access to solutions that are appropriate for the narrative of this course.

Errors and suggestions

Any project of this size is bound to involve errors, including mathematical errors, technical/coding errors, and errors of judgement. If you find an error, or have a suggestion for improving the material, please contact me via my UNM email address.
