Assessment Corrections

I cannot promise at this point when these will be completed. It is my intention to have these corrected before the end of Week 9. Watch this space.

Assessments 3 and 4

I will give proper notice for VBA Assessment 2 by the end of Week 9 and for Written Assessment 2 during Easter.

Week 9

Lectures

• Laplace’s Difference Equation I (21 minutes)
• Laplace’s Difference Equation II (22 minutes)
• Heat Flux Density (4 minutes)

There is a longer, more in-person (old, last year) version of the above material: 

• Laplace’s Difference Equation (26 minutes)
• Mean Value Property (12 minutes)
• Laplace’s Difference Equation Examples (29 minutes)
• Laplace’s Equation Irregular Boundary (9 minutes)
• Calculating Heat Flux Density (7 minutes)

Lab 7

Theory Exercises and Q & A

Q&A on Tuesday as normal:

p.97, Q. 1,2 and p. 98 exercises

Week 10

I have linked here to last year’s videos but will be recording fresh videos. How different they will be I am not too sure.

• Derivation of Heat Equation (26 minutes)
• Finite Differences for the Heat Equation (29 minutes)
• Heat Equation Finite Differences Example I (11 minutes)
• Heat Equation Finite Differences Example II (16 minutes, continued from above, the dog interrupted)

Outlook

Week 11 and 12

Lectures

None. Perhaps additional tutorial time in Week 11 for Written Assessment in Week 12.

Labs

We will do our last lab, Lab 8 in Week 10. VBA Assessment 2 in Week 11.
