The 1st tutorial is on Thusday 18th Sept. Assignment 1 has quite a bad scan ..... I'll do a better job next time.  
This site has a limited data transfer bandwidth of 1 gig (only ....) per month and 20 mb (only ....) of storage. I'll definitely post the assignments on web and we'll see and see how it goes, may be I'll upload some tutorial problems and assignment solutions later. 
 
17/09/2003
Please get the Tutorial 1 handout in Copi-EUS. It should be ready by tomorrow afternoon (before tutorial). It would be helpful to have the handouts for the tutorial !
 
27/09/2003
Please come back to this site on Wed to see if there is any tutorial handouts to download or to copy at Copi-EUS. If there is things for u guys to copy, they should be ready by Thusday afternoon before tutorial.
 
27/09/2003
Tutorial handout (5-pages) will be available at Copi-EUS tomorrow before tutorial. A pdf version is also downloadable from the tutorial section.

Assignment 2 is due on Tuesday 14th Oct, not this Wed
 
Wed 08/10/03
Assignment 1 Solution is out in CopiEUS. There is also a tutorial notes on integration to photocopy, and it will only be available before the tutorial tomorrow. Also, please photocopy a set of lecture notes on Linear Equations for Friday Class from CopiEUS. U should see it when get the tutorial notes
 
Thus 16/10/03
New handout at CopiEUS for Friday class
 
Mon 20/10/2003
Assignment 2 Solution, 2001 midterm Question and its Solutio, and the 2002 midterm Question and Solutions (Solution filed as Tutorial notes) are ALL available at CopiEUS.
 
Thus 23/10/2003
About the solution to Midterm 2002 Problem 2a, please change the statement from:
 
"Integration formula derived for a Pn(x) is Exact if F(x) is degree n or HIGHER" 
to
 
"Integration formula derived with a Pn(x) is Exact if f(x) is degree n or LOWER "
 
Also in computing Romberg Integration for composite Simpsons, u guys can use the equations given in the first equation box on p.3 of the integration tutorial classnotes. That's is the general formula for Romberg, and in using that, bear in mind that Simpsons start at O(h4) instead of O(h2) as it is in Trapizoidal. There is no need to go through the entire derivation for the romberg integration formula during the midterm.
 
Mon 27/10/03
The solution to assignment 3 is out in CopiEUS (Today). Assignment 3 will not be return before the midterm. The midterm is on Thusday 30th Oct 2003  during Tutorial. The 1.5 hr long midterm is open-book and open-notes.
 
Fri 31/10/03
Assignment 4 is posted. please see assignment section.
 
Wed 31/10/03
Please Photocopy the tutorial notes 4 from CopiEUS before class tomorrow.
 
Mon 10/11/03
Please note that u need to do ONLY 28.16  for assignment 4. You DON'T have to do 28.15. U can use any method to do 28.16. and Euler is the simplest method to use.
 
Wed 12/11/03
Assignment 4 due date is postponed to Monday 16th Nov. Handouts for the tutorial tomorrow is in CopiEUS. 
 
Wed 19/11/03
Handouts of Tutorial 6  for Thusday is in CopiEUS.
