Assignment 1
Assignment 1 has a hand-in time and date of 12:00 Friday 1 March (Week 5). Submit in class or to A283.
Read the P.51 and P.52 instructions carefully. You will be submitting an Excel file, and written work, including a print out of your Excel work.
Note in particular:
- Work submitted after the deadline will be assigned a mark of ZERO. Hand up whatever you have on time.
- Only Partial Pivoting has to be done using Excel.
- Note that if you are doing Gaussian Elimination by hand you must use exact fractions and square roots rather a decimal approximation.
- I advise that you do the questions out roughly first because small mistakes are inevitable.
The files you need to complete this assignment have been emailed to you. If you don’t want to calculate your and
they are calculated in MATH7021A1 – Student Data.
We have now covered enough in class for you to do all of the Assignment. I recommend that you start ASAP.
WARNING!
This gives a good opportunity for collaboration but remember collaboration does not mean one student solving the problem and everyone else copying that student’s work. I demand originality of presentation here and you should at least understand what you hand up. If you are unsure of what I mean by this please email me immediately as if I have students who have clearly copied the answer word-for-word from another student they will all be sharing the marks.
Start early so you have enough time to complete the assignment properly and get good learning from it.
THIS IS A LEARNING ACTIVITY NOT JUST A GRADED ACTIVITY. THE CHAPTER ONE EXAM QUESTION IS WORTH 24.5% OF YOUR FINAL GRADE WHILE THIS ASSIGNMENT IS WORTH JUST 15%. THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS.
