Analysis and coding of problems involving roots of equations, large systems of simultaneous equations, numerical differentiation and integration, function approximation and other selected topics. In-house computing facilities are used for processing students' programs. These questions are neither collected nor graded. They are to help you understand the material covered in the section. The beginning of each class period will be devoted to covering questions regarding these homework problems.
Exams are to be taken on the days they are scheduled.
In the event that you know you are going to be absent for an exam, you may take the exam early, provided you have given the instructor proper notice. If you do not take the exam on the day it is given or take it early, you may complete a comprehensive makeup exam at the end of the semester. This exam will cover all the material from the course and will be more difficult that the exam given in class. Since quizzes cannot be taken early or made-up, your lowest quiz score will be dropped. Cheating includes but is not limited to copying answers from another student's test, crib sheets, or passing off another student's programs as your own.
