Homework assignments will be posted on Fridays, a week before they are due - you will have a weekly quiz based on the homework problems and the concepts they test, at the start of class on Fridays. Two of these quiz scores may be dropped. A subset of the weekly homework problems are underlined, and you will hand in carefully written up solutions to this subset for grading, also at the start of class on Fridays. There are no dropped homework scores.
    homeworkguidelines.pdf for written homework (thanks to Victor Camacho).

    Maple Introduction: Read the .pdf's of the notes below. Open Maple, and use the "open URL" menu item to open the actual Maple worksheets (*.mw), and work through the examples they contain. Try to modify the example commands and see if you get what you expect. There is nothing to hand in from this portion of your assignment.

Due Sept 9
    maplehw1.pdf is part of your homework. Please submit your .mw Maple file on-line, through webct . Submit this file with output removed. Your file should be written so that when we use the "execute worksheet" option, all the output of your commands will regenerate. If you fear that your file may become corrupted during submission, you may also enclose a .pdf of the Maple file that includes all of the output.
     maplehw1.mw open this file from Maple.

    Introduction to matlab notes, matlab commands, and project 2 directions for Matlab posted at Victor Camacho's 2250-2 website, http://www.math.utah.edu/~camacho/teaching/fall2011/index.html
    Whether you use Matlab or Maple, in our section 2250-1 the submissions will be electronic, through webct. In the case of Maple, submit just as you did in the previous project. In the case of Matlab, create the .m matlab files as directed in the 2250-2 matlab project directions. Additionally, insert comment fields to explain which problems your code is solving, and what the answers are. Then upload these commented .m files through webct.

Due Sept 23
    Do the following book problems by hand, but please use software to check any computations you wish. In addition to work which you hand in, also hand in hardcopies of technology checks (Maple, Matlab, etc.) for 3.3 20 and 3.4 16. It takes practice to get good at the algebra of matrix manipulations and to see examples of everything that can happen, so I've indicated a fair number of problems in addition to those you'll hand in.
