I am emailing a link of this to everyone on the class list every week. If you are not receiving these emails or want to have them sent to another email address feel free to email me at jpmccarthymaths@gmail.com and I will add you to the mailing list.

Assignment 2

Has been sent to you. Please read the emails carefully — especially those regarding the various typos. The hand-up date is Friday 21 November.

Week 7

In Week 7 we finished our study of beams by looking at cantilevers. Then we began the third chapter on Taylor Series. We started by looking at Maclaurin Series.

Week 8

We will finish off talking about Maclaurin Series and talk about more general Taylor Series near x\neq 0. Then we will start the section on the numerical solution of differential equations that we need for the second assignment.

Assignment 1

I will do out the solutions and send them to you at some stage next week.

To guard against complacency I will draft a sample exam that we will sit on Friday 28 November in Week 11 or Friday 5 December in Week 12. This will be a tough paper that will give ye an indication of where ye are sitting before the final stages of study.

If we sit it in Week 11 it will contain less statistics but will be corrected by me and we will do the Autumn 2014 paper in Week 13. If we can’t sit it until Week 12 we will go through it in Week 13.

Study

Please feel free to ask me questions about the exercises via email or even better on this webpage — especially those of us who struggled in the test.
