  First Computer Project: is here and here .

  Computer Project Due Mon May 17 These are a maple files. You are to do the exercies is groups of two or three, including text so that the file is readable. Also you are to contribute (as a group) a web page on the editible CoWeb about this project, or about similar problems. This will be due on or about May 122.

  Directions for the Computer Project:

  • Download the maple projet(s) on the 2803 web page.
  • Work the project in groups of two or three
  • Hand in a printed copy of the worked project o n the Due Date.
  • Include in the printed version lots of English Text explaining what you are doing and why.
  • Create of CoWeb page detailing your group's experience, trials, tribulations, and suggestions. To do this:
  • Go to the 2803 web page here.
  • GO to the CoWeb link here.
  • Go to the Math2803 Computer Project 1 link
  • Edit that page by adding your group's name between #'s. Like #Maria Calas, Birgit Neilson and J Sutherland# After you do that, hit save. The page will now have a link that looks like Maria Calas, Birgit Neilson and J. Sutherland?
  • Go to this link, and your CoWewb page will be created. Edit there. Flat text if fine.

  Your CoWeb page should contain:

  • A description of the problem in English
  • The mathods that you used to solve the problem.
  • Any problems (computer problems, maple problems, group problems, etc...) that you encountered in working the project.
  • Any useful hint you have for others.
  • Anything else you want to add.

  The due date is May 12

Important!!
We have a special Math (tutoring) Lab for 2803 students in Skiles 171. The hours are

The lab will begin on April 6. It is very important that you take advantage of this.
Math 2803 really has too much stuff in it for a three hour course. You should spend an hour or two each week at this tutoring lab. Think of it as the Tu-Th recitation section.

Here is the official syllabus for Math 2803. Please feel free to share this syllabus with students in other sections: Math 2803

• Taylor approximation, Infinite Series and Taylor Series, 10 lectures Reading: Grossman, Chapters 9 and 10. Start with Taylor approximation, sections 9.4 and 9.5., and do L'Hopital's rule as an application of Taylor approximation, and avoid the mean values theorem discussion in the book.

  The key concept to focus on here is approximation -- working with the remainder in Taylor"s theorem and inequalities.

• Introduction to matrices, linear functions and linear equations, 5 lectures: Reading Anton Chapter 1 and Chapter 4. The focus hear should be in Gaussian elimination and Matrix algebra.

• Determinants: 1 lecture Reading Anton Chapter 2. One lecture on determinants.

• Vector Spaces: 5 Lectures Reading Anton - Chapter 5, focus on R^n

• Least Squares: 2 Lectures Reading: Anton Sections 6.4 and 9.3

• Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues: 3 Lectures: Reading Anton Chapter 7 and sections 9.1,9.5, and 9.6.
