Again, things are more serious now as we start Chapter 3. We must work hard on this material:

  1. because without doing so you could be very, very lost on 15% Assignment 2 (and 35% exam question), and
  2. because if you are going into Level 8 Structural Engineering it will be assumed that you are competent with the Chapter 3 material

Assessment 1 Remarks

With a mountain of other corrections to get done, I have made very few remarks on individual reports. Please look at these remarks to see where most people went wrong:

Week 7

On Monday, we had a final Chapter 2 tutorial.

Then the rest of the class will be given over to partial fractions and then the inverse Laplace transform.

On Wednesday and Thursday we had some tutorial time on partial fractions and the cover up method.

Week 8

The week will be focused on finishing Chapter 3.

15% Assignment 2

Assignment 2 does not yet have a hand-in date (watch this space). Assignment 2 is in the manual, and once you finish the exercises in the manual you will be in a great position to start.

Week 9

This should be a bumper week of Chapter 3 tutorials if we have finished Chapter 3.

The below is very much provisional

Week 10

We will do systems of differential equations.

Week 11

We will work on double integration and when we finish that section we will have tutorials.

Week 12

We will work on triple integration. When finished we will have tutorial time on that topic.

Week 13, Review Week

We will go through an exam paper, answer questions, and have tutorial time as appropriate.

Study

Please feel free to ask me questions about the exercises via email or on this webpage.
