==UBC Math Course Resources==

===First Year Math===

[https://courses.students.ubc.ca/course-search?campus=1&academic_period=All&subject_code=&subject=1577&course_number=100&title=&credits=All&delivery_mode=All Math 100]: Math 100/102/104/120/180/184: [[Differential Calculus]]
when you click on the Differential Calculus, you can find more detailed topics.

[https://courses.students.ubc.ca/course-search?academic_period=All&subject=1577&credits=All&delivery_mode=All&campus=1&subject_code=&course_number=101&title= Math 101]: Math 101/103/105/121: [[Integral Calculus]]

===Second Year Math===

[https://courses.students.ubc.ca/course-search?academic_period=All&subject=1577&credits=All&delivery_mode=All&campus=1&subject_code=&course_number=221&title= Math 221]: Math 221/223: Linear Algebra
* One good resource is the lecture notes from professor Nike Vastal's math 221 homepage: [https://personal.math.ubc.ca/~vatsal/classes/Math221/index.html]
* Another resource is a good book on constrained optimization and linear programming: "Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics" by Alpha C. Chiang (McGraw Hill, 1984), with emphasis on Chapter 12 (especially sections 12/2-12.3 and 12.5) with pages 93-95 relevant for those looking for a treatment of determinants. Calculus textbooks normally do not cover optimization programs.
*Video lectures of Professor Gilbert Strang at MIT: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010/video_galleries/video-lectures/
[https://courses.students.ubc.ca/course-search?academic_period=All&subject=1577&credits=All&delivery_mode=All&campus=1&subject_code=&course_number=220&title= Math 220]: Mathematical Proof

===First and Second Year Math Exam Resources===

The [[Science:Math_Exam_Resources|Math Exam Resources wiki]] offers free study tips, hints and detailed solutions to past exams of the Math Department with a strong emphasis for first and second year courses:

*[[Science:Math_Exam_Resources/Courses/MATH101|MATH 101]]: Integral Calculus with Applications to Physical Sciences and Engineering
*[[Science:Math_Exam_Resources/Courses/MATH152|MATH 152]]: Linear Systems
