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.

Week 3

We finished our work on Taylor Series, and used it to analyse the errors when using the Euler Method.

In VBA we should all have been able to finish Lab 2 (certainly up to automatic selection, p.108). Those who did so started on a Newton Cooling program. Students who have not completed these two programs (damper and Newton Cooling), are advised to work on them outside class.

Week 4

We will have to jump forward and start working on Huen’s Method.

In VBA we will look at Lab 3, on Heun’s Method
