Objective: 
This course has two major objectives: 1) to extend the student's knowledge of computer computation techniques on a number of platforms, and 2) to introduce numerical methods and modeling 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: 
23 laboratories at 5 points each, a mid-term for 40 points, a final for 45 points, and the best 10 of 11 assignments at 5 points each allows for 250 possible points.  Grading will be 90-80-70-60 with some slight loosening possible.  Late assignments are NOT normally 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.
