Problems sets are to be turned in each week with no late submissions accepted. Problems will be graded on the basis of completeness of the entire problem set, and correctness of one or two problems. The matlab assignments are designed to meet two purposes. I hope you ll especially like the symbolic manipulation aspect of matlab, since this can greatly reduce the tedium of calculus. Second, sometimes ideas come up that are just too complicated to do much with pen and paper alone.
Computers make possible the exploration of such ideas with a minimum of effort.
Quizzes Quizzes will be given normally on Fridays. They are based on the homework, reading, and lecture material assigned for that week. No makeups except as arranged in advance with me. You can come in individually or in pairs. Your TA will also be available for help with homework problems.
