Class organization and grading: We will have one midterm and one final and bi-weekly HW assignments. HWs are not graded and solutions of each HW are released one week after its assignment. You will have to send to the TA your work by the deadline, which will usually be one week after the solution is released. Thus, you will have one week to work on the HW without the solution. Then, you will have one week to correct your HW after the solution is released. The grading is: 10% marks If you hand in all HWs before their solution is posted, 40% midterm, 50% Final.
Book and notes: Kreyszig “Advanced Engineering Mathematics” Tenth edition.
Additional notes by prof. Papen are available on this website, as well as slides from lectures.
