 Grading: The course % for M441 is
 determined by:

   Midterm       M            100 
   Final         F            100
   Homework      HW           200
  _______________________________
                              400 

         % = (M+F+HW)/4

 The final is not comprehensive
 and both the final and midterm
 are take home exams.

 Homework and exam due dates will
 be announced in class and posted
 here at a later date. Exam content
 will be announced in class.

 Midterm and Final due dates and
 details will be announced in
 class.
 
 Homework: Assigned homework and some 
 solutions will be posted below as the 
 course develops.

 Homework scores will vary depending
 on their length and difficulty.
 The raw scores will be summed, 
 and converted into a % to yield
 the 200 points in the final grade.

Computing: Some assignemnts will
 require the use of matlab. As students,
 you are entitled to free use of
 this software. You will either
download it to your computer or
 may use it on campus computers
 in the library where it is installed.

Handouts: PDF handouts will either
be emailed to you or handed out in
class (hardcopy)

      Rough Syllabus:

  1. Chapter 1: Mathematics Preliminaries and Floating-Point Representation

  2. Chapter 3: Nonlinear Equations/Taylor series

  3. Chapter 2: Linear Systems

  4. Chapter 8: More on Linear Systems

  5. Chapter 9: Least Squares Methods and Fourier Series

  6. Chapter 13: Minimization of functions

 

Attendance in class is paramount to knowing which subtopics of each chapter will be covered!

 I may add more detail here as the course develops.
