VBA Assessment 1 – Week 6

Hopefully I have designed something in which you can take your time, get things right, get some good marks, and show off what you can do.  Information on Written Assessment next week.

Week 4

Lectures

There are 84 minutes of lectures. You could schedule about 2 hours to watch them and take the notes in your manual. You might need this extra time above 84 minutes because you will want to pause me. You should also take note of any confusions you have to ask about in the regular Q & A.

The Q&A is dedicated to answering questions but do not hesitate to contact me with questions at any time. My usual modus operandi is to answer emails every morning.

Lab

Once you have watched the lectures you should attempt VBA Lab 3.

Theory Exercises and Q & A

p.48, Q. 1-5

Additional Exercises:

p. 48, Q.5-8

Q & A to ask about Theory Exercises or anything else every Tuesday 12.30 (waiting room open 12.25).

Q&A II Slides  

Week 5

We will continue looking at second order differential equations and how to attack them numerically.

We will begin a quick study of Runge-Kutta Methods.

In VBA we will look at Lab 4, on Second Order Initial Value Problems.
