Assignment 2

Assignment 2 has a hand-in date of 28 April — two weeks from today, 14 April. Work handed in late will be assigned a mark of zero so hand in what you have on time.

Week 9

We solved some more differential equations using Laplace Methods. After this ye worked on exercises.

Week 10

I will say a few things about damped harmonic oscillators on Monday and give you some more time to work on exercises. After this we will look at systems of differential equations.

Weeks 11 & 12

We will look at double and triple integrals.

Test 1 – Results

Pending…

Maple Labs — Wednesday 13 April is a ‘Maple’ Night

Due to the large number of students attending the module MATH6038 Mathematics for Science 2.2, we now have to introduce a lab split. 

If your name is listed under February 2016, 17 Wednesday, 6.00 pm here (i.e. the first column), you should come in at 18:00. Otherwise come in for a 19:15 start.

The following is the new proposed schedule for Weeks 9, 11 and 12(test)

Group 1 – Starts at 18:00 and Finishes at 20:50:

Wednesdays 18:00-19:05 – Maple Lab in room C128

Wednesdays 19:15-20.55 – Theory class in room C214

Group 2 – Starts at 19:15 and Finishes at 22:00:

Wednesdays 19:15-20.55 – Theory class in room C214

Wednesdays 20:55-22:00 – Maple Lab in room C128

Week 8

In Week 8 we finished Chapter 2 on Statistics.

Week 9

We will do one more exam question on statistics before moving on to Probability.

Catch Up Lectures

We will be in C214 for a lecture at 09:00 Wednesday April 20.

Test 2 will take place in B149 at 16:00 Wednesday April 28.

This is to make up for Tuesday 5 April when we missed two lectures as I had to attend a funeral in Kerry.

Test 2

Test 2, on Chapter 3, will be held on the Thursday of Week 11 as detailed above. There is a sample in the notes.

Week 8

We looked at related rates.

Week 9

We will look at implicit differentiation and partial differentiation.

Week 1*: Easter Catch-Up Class

I had planned on having a ‘Maple’ night Wednesday 23 March during the Easter break but considering where we are in the notes this is not going to be possible.

Instead we will have a revision class where will work on the following questions in the lecture to help us revise for the test immediately after Easter. When I have finished working on these we will have a break and return to room B228 which has loads of room so I can go around helping people one-to-one.

Here is a summary of the Linear Algebra Methods.

Students are advised to attend because although I intend to record the examples I do, I cannot guarantee that the recording is successful.

Test 1

Test 1 will take place 6 April in Week 8 in B149. The test I gave last time I taught this module is at the end of Chapter 1.

Due to the large number of students attending the module MATH6038 Mathematics for Science 2.2, we now have to introduce a lab split.
