Catch up Classes

…are finished; that is no Wednesday classes anymore.

Test 2

Test 2 will take place on Tuesday 28 April at 11 in B214. There is a sample in the notes (after P.140). Before or after the sample there is a quick summary of the chapter — you need to know all these formulae and ideas.

Because the test is so close I am going to say that the question on partial differentiation will definitely come from P.132, Q. 1(a), 2(i)-(iii). Also the question on error analysis will be one of Q. 2,3,4 on P.139.

Academic Learning Centre Questions

P. 132 Q.1; P. 139, Q.3

Week 10

We finished off partial differentiation, applied to it error analysis.

Week 11

We have one chapter to do in five lectures which isn’t ideal but I have cut some examples so we will be O.K. I am going to try and get as much of the first two sections done in our two lectures this week.

Week 12

Finish off the course.

Week 13

There should be a an exam paper at the back of your notes — I will go through this on the board and we will also have tutorial time.

Assignments 2

Assignment 2 is here. The data is here (there was originally an error in column P of the second sheet – this has since been fixed).  Recall that you no longer have to do question 5. I will be here in A283 until 5.55 pm on Monday and if you miss deadline you will be given a mark of ZERO.

EDIT: Worked Solutions here.

Week 10

We looked at Systems of Differential Equations.

Week 11

We will begin the last chapter on Multiple Integration with double integrals.

Week 12

We will finish the last chapter on Multiple Integration including triple integrals.

Week 13

We will first go over the sample and then have tutorial time.

Continuous Assessment

You are identified by the last four digits of your student number unless you are winning the league. The individual quiz marks are out of 2.5 percentage points. Your best eight quizzes go to the 20% mark for quizzes. The R % column is your running percentage (for best eight quizzes — now this includes missed quizzes — before I was doing the best non-zero but now I am including the zeros if a zero is in your best eight), MPP is your Maple Percentage Points and the GPP is your Gross Percentage Points (for best eight quizzes and Maple). Most of the columns are rounded but column nine, for quiz eight, is correct.

Week 9

We were very busy in Week 9 — finishing off parametric differentiation and studying related rates, implicit differentiation and beginning to look at partial differentiation.

Week 10

We are once again in a very busy week where we have to finish off partial differentiation, apply to it error analysis and start on the last chapter with integration by parts. I am going to skip some examples and because the test takes place not long after we finish the material, I have given ye some help for Test 2 (see above).

Week 9

We did some full Laplace Transform questions and had some time to start working on Assignment 2

Week 10

In Week 10 you will have one more class dedicated to working on Assignment 2. We will also look at Systems of Differential Equations and begin the last chapter on Multiple Integration

Academic Learning Centre Question

Question 1, P.109.

Week 8

In Week 8 we finished off the chapter on matrices and began the chapter on differentiation. We did a quick revision and then looked at parametric differentiation.

Week 9

We are going to be very busy in Week 9 — finishing off parametric differentiation and studying related rates, implicit differentiation and beginning to look at partial differentiation.

Note: Simpson’s Rule Example, p.5 (b), Second Integral

Yes, the answer in the notes WAS wrong. The answer should be close to 0.5870 (as we found on the board.)
