Numerical Methods with Applications: Abridged by 2.
Your MATLAB book for EML 3035 (The one written by Chapman). For the Chapman book, it does not matter
which edition you have. Any edition is
good. 3.
Buying MATLAB software for home use is optional. You may already have this from the EML3035
course. You can always use MATLAB free
of charge in ENB118 (next to fish bowl in Engineering II building), ENB229, LIB
125C (first floor lab in the Library), and other open labs except EDU
open lab. MATLAB REFRESHER Matlab overview and refresher: http://www.eng.usf.edu/~kaw/class/programming No
programmable calculators are allowed in the classroom or tests. You can only use nonprogrammable
calculators for class work, homework, and tests. The only acceptable calculators are TI-30Xa and TI-30Xa Solar. No other
calculator is allowed. No exceptions
will be made. Office Depot, Staples, and
Wal-Mart stock these calculators.
Bring the calculator to every class. Techniques
and computer programming tools to solve engineering problems using numerical
methods. Topics include roots of
equations, matrix algebra, integration, differential equations and curve
fitting. TENTATIVE

Tests#1,
2 and 3: Each
test is graded out of 100. Tests are closed book and closed notes. A formula sheet made by the instructor may
be allowed. Programming
Test: This is a 50-question multiple-choice test
that lasts 100 minutes. The test is
based on the skills (learned in EML3035) you need to complete your
programming and experimental projects.
A sample quiz is on the course website. Your programming test is open Chapman book,
and you are allowed one 8.5"x11" sheet with anything on it (both
sides). It has to be handwritten in
your own handwriting. Reports: Reports are due at the beginning
of the class period they are due in. If you are not coming to class, you can slip your report under my
door one hour before the class period begins on the day it is due. If it is slipped after this time, it will not
be graded. Late reports are not
accepted or graded. Reports
not submitted when they are due will be graded later only if you have a
legitimate Computer
or lab projects are graded out of 100 points Final
Exam: Final
exam is a 32-question multiple-choice cumulative/ comprehensive examination
that lasts 2 hours. Each question has
four choices. Four questions are asked
from each of the eight topics. YOU
SHOULD NOT RUSH TO MY CLASS as nothing is that important in life. I myself
may get to come late to a class for something that is beyond my control or
even with the best of planning. In the last 21 years of teaching Curving
the Grade: The adjustments
made to your course grade is as follows and is made to the tests#1 If the
average for students registered for the course (all withdrawal students and
students missing the exam are not included in the calculation) for any of the
4 tests is less than 70% Extra
Credit: You can earn up to 0.5 extra credit points per
survey for the course grade by filling some ABET type surveys or by writing personal
essays on numerical methods. If you
choose the essay option, the deadline for submitting your intent in writing
to me is Friday, May 29, 2009. Grade
A+ is 98‑100 (4.00) Grade A
is 90-97 (4.00) Grade
A- is 86-89 (3.67) Grade
B+ is 83-85 (3.33) Grade B is
80-82 (3.00) Grade B- is
76-79 (2.67) Grade
C+ is 73-75 (2.33) Grade C is
70-72 (2.00) Grade C– is
66-69 (1.67) Grade
D+ is 63-65 (1.33) Grade D is
60-62 (1.00) Grade D‑
is 56‑59 (0.67) Grade F
is 0‑55 (0.00). Your final grade will be calculated as follows at the
end of the course. A number 0.999999
will be added to your overall percentage grade. The integer
part (INT function in Excel) of the grade will be recorded as your final
grade. Course grades will be evaluated
on the above given percentages and a letter grade will be assigned to you as
outlined in the University catalog for undergraduate students (2008-2009). Course
grades will be evaluated on percentage score and a letter grade will
be assigned to you as outlined in the University catalog for undergraduate
students (2008-2009). Do not
wait until the last day before an examination or a test to ask questions.
Graded assignments and quizzes not picked up when handed out in class can be
picked up only during the above given office hours or at the end of the
class. Graded assignments and tests not picked up by August 20, 2009 will be
discarded. Attendance is not compulsory but you are
responsible for topics covered in class Re-grading of a test Grades will be updated on https://my.usf.edu after each test is graded. NO make‑up tests will be
given. However Notification of absence must be
given before the commencement of the scheduled examination or test to
me. You need to
type a professional memo (see sample) about your
absence addressed to me as soon as possible.
Attach any documentation with it (no e-mails will be accepted). Do not presume that your reasons
for missing an examination or test are acceptable unless authorization is
given to you. POLICY
ON RELIGIOUS OBSERVATIONS Students who need to be absent
under this rule must provide written notice of date(s) to me by the
second-class meeting. The request
needs to be reasonable under university rules. POLICY ON STUDENT DISABILITY
ACCOMMODATIONS Any
student who feels he/she may need an accommodation based on the impact of a
disability should contact the Office for Student Disability Services at ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
