In your Canvas announcements you will see that I have laid out a provisional plan for the remaining assessment.

There is a lot of information and tasks in this announcement but that is to account for the fact that people have got more or less work done on MATH7021 up to now. Work your way down through this announcement. It is my advice to try and find 7 hours per week for MATH7021, and spend that time on it. You may want to put extra time into Assignment 2. 

Now that all the material is covered, I am focusing on supporting your learning.

The now 25% second assignment is due Friday 17 April 2020. The other assessment are provisionally set for 11 May (provisionally changed from 8 May, 40% Test on Chapters 2 & 4, and Section 4.6), and 21 May (20% test on Chapter 1). The following plan is designed around these. 

Keep in mind at all times:

“Any and all work, submitted at any time, will receive feedback.”

“Do not hesitate to contact me with questions at any time. My usual modus operandi is to answer all queries in the morning but sometimes I may respond sooner.”

Easter Week 2 to Sunday 19 April

Focus on Assignment 2: Laplace Transforms

As outlined in the assignment section:

As per p.167-175 in the manual.

You may email any questions about the assignment and you will receive a response the next day, and I will be responding to emails seven days a week.

When it comes to submission, think about the following:

  • Review photo. If you cannot see, we cannot mark it.
  • Be careful of shadows
  • Take A4 pages out of pad.
  • Have A4 page flat on a surface.
  • Take picture directly over page.
  • Lighting
  • Use sharp black or blue pen. No pencil. No red pen?
  • Picture of one a page at a time.
  • Clearly label page with page numbers and labels

If possible, submit the images as a single pdf file. To do this, select all the images in a folder, right-click and press print. It will say something like How do you want to print your pictures? Press (Microsoft?) Print to PDF. If possible choose an orientation that has all the images in portrait.

Here is video (30 minutes) of me doing (parts (a) to (c) of) the Laplace Transform exam question on p. 228 of the manual.

If you haven’t yet, go back and do the Week 8 learning tasks, and watch

After this you should be able to start Assignment 2.  “You may email any questions about the assignment and you will receive a response the next day, and I will be responding to emails seven days a week.“

If possible, submit the images as a single pdf file. To do this, select all the images in a folder, right-click and press print. It will say something like How do you want to print your pictures? Press (Microsoft?) Print to PDF. If possible choose an orientation that has all the images in portrait.

Catch Up

If you have Assignment 2 done, my recommendation is do as much catch up as you can on Week 10 and Easter Week 1. Any work other work you do can be submitted via Canvas email.

Lectures

If you have Assignment 2 done, and all caught up on the other learning, there are about 27 minutes of lectures here. You should schedule about 45 minutes to watch them and take the notes in your manual. You need this extra time above 27 minutes because you will want to pause me.

I pushed quite hard last week and so there is not much here to finish off the lectures.

Exercises

If you have any time left (ideally you should aim to spend 7 hours per week on MATH7021 over the course of the semester) you can try the following

  • p.222, Q. 1-6

These can be submitted to Easter Week 2 Exercises by midnight Sunday 19 April. If possible, submit the images as a single pdf file. To do this, select all the images in a folder, right-click and press print. It will say something like How do you want to print your pictures? Press (Microsoft?) Print to PDF. If possible choose an orientation that has all the images in portrait.

No more new material from here.
