Instructor: Professor Paul Green
Class Meetings: MWF 9-9:50
Text: No text need be purchased for this course. Lecture
notes, in the form of Mathematica notebooks are available at this link,
and can be downloaded. They have been made available by Professor Garry
Helzer,who created this course and has been the only other person to teach it.
Also available at the same link is Mathreader a limited form of Mathematica,
which will enable you to read the notes, but not to perform mathematical
operations or view animations. You will need access to the full version of Mathematica
in order to do some of the homework for this course, but it is available at
sufficiently many sites on campus that you should not need to purchase it.
The following chart indicates the material to be covered
from Professor Helzer's notes on a day by day basis, and the homework problems
for which you are responsible on a weekly basis.The homework for each week is
due on the Monday of the following week. You may hand it in as hard copy, email
it to me as an attached Mathematica notebook or treat some of an assignment
in each of these formats. In any case, you should make sure you will be able to
solve straightforward non-graphical problems with pen and paper, since the
exams will not involve a computer.
A word on the notation in the Syllabus: 1.3 refers to the third
section of the first of Professor Helzer's notebooks.2.1.3 refers to the third
problem following the first section of the second notebook.
