    Mid-term test

    Solution
  • The duration of the mid-term test is 50 min. The test requires no programming, but numerical analysis and proofs.
  • The test date is Wednesday, Feb 17, 2010.
  • Test cancellation policy: In case it is not possible to take the test due to circumstances, such as storm, fire, University closure etc., the test will automatically be scheduled for the next usual meeting time in the same week. If this happens that all three possible attempts fail during the test week, there will be no test and the weight will be added to the final exam. If a student misses the test for health reasons, s/he has to write the test during the test week. In illness occurs for the entire test week, the weight will be shifted to the final exam. Any health reason must be supported by a doctor's note. Missing test must be finalized within the test week, otherwise the weight will be multiplied by "0" (zero).

    Final exam

  • The duration of the final examination is 2.5 hours.
  • The date and location of the final exam will be announced by the registrar's office.

    • How to submit assignments

    There are 6 (six) home work assignments for this course. All Matlab codes of an assignment must be submitted electronically using the "submit-assignment" utility. An assignment is due by midnight of the due date. To submit an assignment, you must log into a linux Labnet computer e.g. in HH3030. Under your home directory, you have to create a folder named math3132. Under math3132 folder, you have to create math3132-a1 for assignment #1. Copy all files for assignmnet #1 into the folder math3132-a1. As soon as you have copied all files of assignment #1 into the appropriate folder, you are ready to submit assignment #1. All steps are summarized below.

  • mkdir amat3132 :create the course folder.
  • cd amat3132 :open the course folder.
  • mkdir amat3132-a1 :create assignment #1 folder. Use 2 for assignment #2 and so on.
  • cd :open the home folder, assuming all files are in the home folder.
  • cp -r file1 file2 ~/amat3132/amat3132-a1/ :copy file from home folder to appropriate assignment folder.
  • submit list :check list of assignments (optional). Important keywords are math3132-1 and a1. Now, you are ready to submit.
  • cd ~/amat3132 and use the following command.
  • submit submit amat3132-1 a1 :You will be asked for password. Use your Labnet login password. If the submission is successful, you will see somthing that is similar to the following:

    Submitted files:
    yourid/math3132-a1/text.txt

    which means that user "yourid" submitted text.txt as assignment #1.
