U B C M A T H E M A T I C S
This is a school-by-school study based on final marks in December 2000 for the various UBC first year calculus courses for students who graduated from BC schools in 1999/00 including a comparison with students from Alberta and Ontario:
MATHEMATICS 100: Differential Calculus with Applications to Physical Sciences and Engineering.
MATHEMATICS 102: Differential Calculus with Applications to Life Sciences.
MATHEMATICS 104: Differential Calculus with Applications to Commerce and Social Sciences.
MATHEMATICS 120: Honours Differential Calculus. (Invitation based on excellence on the Euclid Contest or Principles of Mathematics 12 Scholarship result.)
MATHEMATICS 101: Integral Calculus. For students who obtained a mark of 5 in AP Calculus AB or at least 75% in the UBC-SFU-UVIC-UNBC Calculus Challenge Examination (administered by SFU in 2000; by UBC in 2001).
Table of Results in Dec 2000 compares performances for each course. For the students of each course the average Principles of Math 12 and UBC course grades are given.
Table A compares schools by region and type. B.C. schools identified by region are public schools. Suburban Vancouver includes the Vancouver, Burnaby, Langley, New Westminster, Maple Ridge, Surrey, Coquitlam, Delta, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and Richmond school districts.
The school-by-school Tables (I, II, III) include all schools with at least 10 students in UBC calculus classes in the Fall of 2000.
The "ranking" of a school is determined by equally weighting its results in the categories of % passing, % with A standing, and the change of its students' average grades (weighted according to assigned grades in UBC courses) in Principles of Math 12 to UBC Math courses.
KUDOS:
David Thompson (Vancouver east) has ranked in the top third of all schools for 14 consecutive years (1987-2000)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eric Hamber (Vancouver west) has ranked in the top third for 11 consecutive years (1990-2000)!!!!!!!!!!!
Killarney (Vancouver east) has ranked in the top third for 10 consecutive years (1991-2000)!!!!!!!!!!
Burnaby North (Burnaby) has ranked in the top third for eight consecutive years (1993-2000)!!!!!!!!
HJ Cambie (Richmond) has ranked in the top third for four consecutive years (1997-2000)!!!!
Hugh Boyd (Richmond), Handsworth (North Vancouver) and Magee (Vancouver west) have ranked in the top third for three consecutive years (1998-2000)!!!
Sir Winston Churchill (Vancouver west), Prince of Wales (Vancouver west) and Matthew McNair (Richmond), have ranked in the top third for two consecutive years (1999-2000)!!
St. Michaels University (Private), Sentinel (West Vancouver), Charles London (Richmond), Hugh McRoberts (Richmond), JN Burnett (Richmond), Sutherland (North Vancouver), South Delta (Delta), Cariboo Hill (Burnaby), Little Flower Academy (Catholic), Gladstone (Vancouver East) and Sir Charles Tupper (Vancouver East) ranked in the top third in 2000!
(only includes students from the 2000 graduating classes of BC high schools)
