20% VBA 1 Assessment, Week of 26 February to 1 March

Please see Canvas for more information.

Week 4

We did more on Heun’s Method, and also looked at “Taylor Methods”.

We also introduced second order differential equations and how to attack them numerically.

In VBA we look at Lab 3, on Heun’s Method. If you have not completed this lab you are strongly urged to do so as the 20% VBA 1 Assessment will be based on this lab. There are lab videos on Canvas to help you outside the lab.

Week 5

Lots of case studies of second order differential equations. We will also introduce methods even more accurate than Heun’s Method: the general Runge–Kutta methods.

Assessment
