15% Assignment 2
Assignment 2 is in the manual. It could be started now.
Week 9
We had 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.

Again, things are more serious now as we start Chapter 3. We must work hard on this material:
- because without doing so you could be very, very lost on 15% Assignment 2 (and 35% exam question), and
- 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.

Timetable Change
The Monday class is now moved to A243L at 13:00 on Tuesdays. This allows us to spread out tutorial time better, and hopefully is logistically better for you.
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.

The rest of the week will be focused on finishing Chapter 3.
Week 9
No Monday class with the bank holiday
This should be a bumper week of Chapter 3 tutorials if we have finished Chapter 3. It will be in this week that we catch up as we will skip Section 3.6.
The below is very much provisional
Week 10
We will do systems of differential equations.

On Monday, we may or may not have a final Chapter 2 tutorial. It depends on how much Chapter 3 we get done.
Then the rest of the class will be given over to partial fractions and then the inverse Laplace transform.
Week 8
On Monday, we are due to have a double tutorial.
The rest of the week will be focused on finishing Chapter 3.

15% Assignment 1
This should be started ASAP. This has a hand in time and date of 10:45 Thursday 22 February. Please see Canvas.
Gaussian Elimination Tutor
If you download Maple (see Student Resources), there is a Maple Tutor that is easy to use and will help you with Gaussian Elimination. Open up Maple and go to Tools -> Tutors -> Linear Algebra -> Gaussian Elimination.
Week 5
We are now going to push to complete Chapter 2 as soon as reasonable.

Week 3
We finished Chapter 1 on Wednesday by looking at applications to temperature distribution, where the Jacobi Method is used to find approximate solutions to a diagonally dominant linear system.
If you want a deep dive into the temperature of a plate stuff there is a post here which explains — in great detail — how the ‘iterations’ are actually physically meaningful.
We had four classes of tutorials — Monday, the BH pre-catch up, and the Thursday double. We should be well and truly prepped for Assignment 1.
Gaussian Elimination Tutor
If you download Maple (see Student Resources), there is a Maple Tutor that is easy to use and will help you with Gaussian Elimination. Open up Maple and go to Tools -> Tutors -> Linear Algebra -> Gaussian Elimination.
Week 4
We are now going to push to complete Chapter 2 over the next two weeks. Any remaining classes will be given over to tutorial time on Chapter 2.
If there is full attendance on Wednesday we might do a Chapter 1 “concept MCQ”.

We finished the Gaussian Elimination examples on Thursday, and also began to look at applications of linear systems to traffic and pipe flow (Thursday).
We had good tutorial time… Monday, Wednesday, and a lot of the Thursday double too.
Week 3
We will start the week with the Monday tutorial and an additional tutorial on Tuesday
- A207, Tuesday 30 January, 13:00-14:00
This is to make up somewhat for the two bank holiday Mondays.
We will finish the Chapter 1 material on Wednesday and Thursday and finish the week off with more tutorial time.

Week 1
We started the first chapter on Linear Algebra. Essentially, for us, simultaneous equations. We looked at Gaussian Elimination including Partial Pivoting, which is required in the presence of rounding. We looked at all but one of the examples, but had no tutorial time.
Gaussian Elimination Tutor
If you download Maple (see Student Resources), there is a Maple Tutor that is easy to use and will help you with Gaussian Elimination. Open up Maple and go to Tools -> Tutors -> Linear Algebra -> Gaussian Elimination.
Week 2
We will have tutorial time on Monday, then finish the Gaussian Elimination examples on Wednesday, and maybe begin to look at applications of linear systems to traffic and pipe flow.
