Written Assessment 1 Worked Solutions

40% Written Assessment 2

See Canvas -> Assignments for time and venue.

The Written Assessment will be a mix of theory and calculation questions from throughout the whole module. The best preparation for this assessment will be doing exercises, as the questions on the paper will be a similar style to those in the exercises.

There is also an abstract whiteboard YouTube lecture here.

We had maybe an hour and a half of tutorial time looking at systems of odes/double integration.

Week 12

On Monday we will work on triple integration. If needs be we will finish this material on Wednesday.

It is my plan also to give ye a look at your Assignment 1 and possibly your Assignment 2 if I have them corrected. Here are some remarks on Assignment 1:

The rest of the week’s classes will be tutorials.

Covid Disruption

We have had a very disturbed time with me catching the covid. DME2C are particularly badly hit. To help ease the situation, we will have a revision lab in Week 10 (VBA Assessment 2 is based on Labs 6 and 7).

Lab 8, which is examinable in the Written Assessment in Week 13, will now be held after Easter.

VBA Assessment 2

See Canvas for the assessment information.

MCQ League

This is currently in a mess. I would invite DME2C students do MCQ VI (below) and submit their answers here.

Week 8

We finished looking at boundary value problems (in particular Goal Seek) and began looking at partial differential equations by looking at Laplace’s Equation.

In VBA, DME2A and DME2B had Lab 6. We skipped Lab 5. DME2C were due to do Lab 6 on the Monday of Week 9 but my covid disrupted this. DME2C should have worked on Lab 6 before Friday 1 April:

Watch this (Links to an external site.) to start you off. Next attempt Lab 6 yourself. Just use Euler’s Method rather than any RK. If stuck, please watch this (Links to an external site.). Any questions please email.

Week 9

I was out with covid. Ye received the following instructions:

DME2 Lectures Tuesday and Wednesday

Watch this (Links to an external site.) and then this (Links to an external site.).
