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

Students who missed today, Thursday 14 March should really watch the videos covering Section 3.4 before Tuesday.

Week 8

The week will be focused on finishing the part of Chapter 3 examinable in Assignment. We did this, by looking at partial fractions, the inverse Laplace transform, and the application of the Laplace Transform to differential equations. We managed some tutorial time on Wednesday but the double was all lecture.

15% Assignment 2

Assignment 2 is in the manual, has a hand-in date of 12 April, and once you have had some tutorial time, you can start this.

Week 9

This will be a bumper week of Chapter 3 tutorials.

Week 10

I will probably not be on paternity leave yet, in which case we will have a final Chapter 3 tutorial on Tuesday before doing systems of differential equations on Wednesday and Thursday, with some tutorial time possible on Thursday.

If I do go on paternity leave, a colleague of mine is due to take ye. If it happens that this cover is late, only coming on Thursday, I will have pre-recorded lectures on systems of differential equations which you should watch instead of the lectures on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then my colleague will do a Chapter 3/ systems of differential equations tutorial with you on Thursday.

Week 11

I will be on paternity leave.

Tuesday will be a tutorial on systems of differential equations and then ye will work on double integration and when we finish that section we will have tutorials.

Week 12

I might be back from paternity leave.

Tuesday will be a tutorial on double integration and then ye will work on triple integration. When finished ye will have tutorial time on that topic.

Week 13, Review Week

We will have tutorial time.
