Week 6
I was sick on Monday and so students were directed to watch this video.
We had two tutorials and looked at fixed end beams in the other lecture.
Week 7
We will finish looking at cantilevers. We will start looking at Euler’s Method on Friday. There will be two tutorials. Then ye will have your reading week.
Assessment
Assignment 1 corrections are behind due to some personal circumstances. I aim to have these completed at some point in the reading week.
Assignment 2 may appear on Canvas at some stage this week.
Academic Learning Centre
I would urge anyone having any problems with material that isn’t being addressed in the tutorial communication to use the Academic Learning Centre. If you are a little worried about your maths this semester you need to be aware of this resource. You will get best results if you come to the helpers there with specific questions.

The Friday 21 October class in A243L will not go ahead. Instead we will have a lecture at 10:00 on Thursday 20 October in C212.
Week 5
We started looking properly at applications to beams: to simply supported beams.
We had two tutorials on Chapter 2: one on Tuesday and another on Friday.
Week 6
We will have one or two tutorials and hopefully look at fixed end beams and maybe cantilevers in the lectures. Assessment 2 will also go on Canvas.
Week 7
We will finish looking at cantilevers. We will start looking at Euler’s Method. There will only be one tutorial. Then ye will have your reading week.

Week 4
We ploughed into chapter two. We did the mathematical background for Chapter 2
We had a final tutorial on Chapter one on Tuesday.
Week 5
We will start properly looking at applications to beams: first to simply supported beams.
We will might only have one tutorial: on Tuesday. Week 6 and or 7 should see many more tutorials again.
Week 6
We will finish looking at fixed end beams and then we will look at cantilevers. We will start looking at Euler’s Method.

Assignment 2 – Results
It is my intention to have your results out by the end of the Week 10.
Week 11
Lectures
About an hour and a half here:
- Partial Differentiation I (26 minutes)
- Partial Differentiation II and Rounding Errors (27 minutes)
- Rounding Error Example (8 minutes)
If you want a slightly slower re-introduction to partial differentiation I go over it a bit slower here (along with some more examples – this is from MATH6040).
Exercises
- p. 171 (revision of partial differentiation)
- p.176 – 177, Q.1-5. Additional exercises p.177, Q.6.
You can (carefully) take photos of your work and submit to whatever Canvas Exercises ‘Assignment’ is open.
Submit the images as a single pdf file. To do this, select all the images in a folder, right-click and press print. It will say something like How do you want to print your pictures? Press (Microsoft?) Print to PDF. If possible choose an orientation that has all the images in portrait.

I put few lectures (and no new exercises) into Week 7 but there are lots of lectures here and lots of new exercises. The faster you can (well-complete) Assignment 2 the better and it leaves a possible plan like (again I recommend 7 hrs per week… but managing your time is a difficulty for you to solve).
