Course materials

• Computer projects and labs. "Labs" introduce new mathematical material, or explain how to investigate a problem using Iode. "Projects" are designed to be assigned as homework.
  • Lab I (direction fields) pdf (71 k): introduces students to directions field, using Iode.
  • Project I (direction fields) pdf (94 k): further develops students' understanding of direction fields.
  • Lab II (numerical methods) pdf (123 k): introduces students to numerical methods, using Iode. It is intended for use in a lab session before the second project.
  • Project II (numerical methods) pdf (71 k): develops student understanding of numerical methods for first order differential equations.
  • Lab/Project III (second order ODEs) pdf (59 k)
  • Lab/Project IV (Fourier series) pdf (71 k)
  • Lab/Project V (Fourier series, again) pdf (63 k)
  • Lab/Project VI (partial differential equations) pdf (46 k)
• Homework problem on solving large linear systems, using Matlab or Octave pdf (65 k).
• Zip archive containing all the LaTeX materials listed here tex/iode_tex.zip (1292 k). The archive also contains the figures included in the documents above.
