Section 2 will have the same homework schedule - homework should be sent via e-mail attachment.  Section 2 will take the final on 5/8 - the time window will be announced later.

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 modeling techniques.  A secondary goal is to introduce the student to the handling of error in both computation and measurements.  This error can be due to round-off, truncation, or digitization.

Grading
There are 15 laboratories and 12 homework assignments at 5 points each for 135 points.  Each of 3 quizes is worth 15 points and the final is worth 20 points.  Grading will be 90-80-70-60 percent out of the 200 available points.  there may be some slight loosening.  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.


The laboratory schedule below is suggestive.  For all students, Labs 1 through 6 are due no latrer than lab 000.  Labs 7 through 15 are due on the last day of lab during the review session.  Each lab is worth 5 points.  Labs may be turned in early.
