Objective
This course has two major objectives: 1) to extend the student's knowledge of computer computation techniques with a number of packages, and 2) to introduce numerical methods and modelling techniques.  A secondary goal is to introduce the student to the handling of error in both computations and measurements.  this error can be due to round-off, truncation, or digitization.

Grading
12 laboratories and 12 homework problems are worth 5 points each for 120 points.  Each test is worth 40 points.  Grading will be 90-80-70-60 percent out of the 200 available points.  There may be some slight losening.  Late assignments are NOT in general accepted; make arrangements in advance or bring a medical statement.

General
The schedule and procedures in this syllabus are subject to change in event of extenuating circumstances.  Any student with difficulty in meeting these requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible for an attempt to resolve the difficulty.  All students are expected to have met the pre-requisites of the course prior to the first day of class.  If you do not, contact your advisor immediately.
