Evaluation
Grading will be based on 7 homeworks, accounting for 80% of the
total grade. The final homework will take the form of a limited-time,
take-home examination and will carry 20% of the total; the
other homeworks will carry 10% each. There will also be an in-class
mid-term examination, worth 20% of the total grade and based on
the in-class exercises, on Thursday, May 1 (week 5). The final
project will begin during the last class period and will be due the
next day -- no exceptions!
Homework Format
Homeworks will be assigned on the course Web page, and are expected to
be turned in as hardcopy (not by e-mail). Homeworks will
involve writing programs to solve problems, printing out the
solutions, and possibly plotting graphs of the results. To ensure
that all of your work is clearly presented, your solution should
consist of a cover page containing the homework number and your
name(!), and presenting for each problem all of the written answers
and numerical solutions requested, followed by a list of graphs,
programs, etc., to follow. This should then be followed by a series
of clearly labeled graphs and program listings in the order
presented in the cover page.
