After the first week, homework assignments will be posted on Fridays, a week before they are due - you will have a weekly quiz based on the homework problems, lab work, and the concepts they test, at the start of class on Fridays. A subset of the weekly homework problems are underlined and bold-face, and you will hand in carefully written up solutions to this subset for grading, also at the start of class on Fridays. There will also be lab worksheets. Some of the problems on these worksheets will be from the homework due Friday. Other problems will be handed in separately, before the start of class on Wednesdays.

    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.

     Here are four Matlab files which can be used to compute Euler, improved Euler, and Runge-Kutta numerical approximations for solutions to first order differential equation initial value problems. When using Matlab you create a directory containing all Matlab files relevant to the given project, and call the various functions from the Matlab command window.
     euler_2250.m   improvedeuler_2250.m   rungekutta_2250.m   frhs.m  

     Here are three Maple files which can be used to compute Euler, improved Euler, and Runge-Kutta numerical approximations for solutions to first order differential equation initial value problems. The commands mirror those in the Matlab files above, so you can notice the various syntax differences between the Maple and Matlab dialects of mathematical programming. The ".mw" files are the Maple worksheets, to download and open with Maple. The ".pdf" versions are printouts of these files (including the output), that you can view with your browser.
