Textbook
Course description
I will basically follow the text book. I plan to cover most of the
Chapters 7, 10, 8, 9, and/or other topics if time allows. It will certainly
be a plus if you have some skill of writting computer program. However, the
emphasis is on the mathematical aspects of the algorithms rather than on the
computer language used to implement them. We will use Mathematica to handle
examples.
Mathematica
If you want to learn mathematica, you can start from the following notebook.
Homework
There will be a homework assignment for each week. You can check the
assignments here. Homework will be collected each Wednesday in class
on the material of the previous week. Late homework will not be accepted.
Your lowest homework score will be dropped. It is very important to keep up
with your homework. Start it early, do not wait until the night before
you have to turn it in.
Exams
There will be one midterm exam in class on Wednesday, Feburary 11. If you
must miss this exam due to extraordinary circumstances, you must get my
permission and schedule a make-up exam in advance. The final exam is
scheduled for Tuesday, March 17 at 15:15 in 301 Deady.
Grade
Your course grade will be based on your homework, midterm and final.
| Homework: | 20% |
| Midterm Exam: | 40% |
| Final Exam: | 40% |
Incomplete
Incomplete are only awarded in the Mathematics Department when two criteria
have been satisfied: first, a student must have a passing grade at the time
the ``I'' is assigned; secondly, some work could not be completed due to
extenuating circumstances (illness, auto accident, etc.). Under no
circumstances will an ``I'' be awarded as a substitute for a ``W'', ``D'' or
``F/N''. If you find yourself in trouble, drop the course!
