Grading: The course % for M442 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,
 due dates and details will all be
 announced in class.

 Syllabus: Material for M442 will be selected from:
 
 Chapter 4 Polynomial Interpolation, Derivative Approx.
 Chapter 5 Numerical Integration - basics
 Chapter 6 Numerical Integration - advanced
 Chapter 10 Ordinary differential Equation (ODE)
 Chapter 11 Systems of ODEs
 Chapter 14 Boundary Value Problems
 Chapter 15 Partial Differential Equations - basics

 Material from these textbook sections will be
 covered in much greater detail in class. Notes
 will be posted below. We won't be able to do all
 the material in these sections.

 Homework: Assigned homework and possibly some of 
 their 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: You will eventually be given a 
 computer account so you may use "matlab" to 
 explore and implement a few of the methods 
 described in class. As this IS NOT a software
 course the computing portion will be minimal.
