INSTRUCTOR: Andy Long. Office: ST 328; phone: 572-5794; email: longa@nku.edu
MEETING TIME/PLACE: 1:00-1:50, MWF, ST250 (hopefully changing to ST254)
EXPECTED BACKGROUND: C or better in MAT 225 and CSC 260.
TEXT: Numerical Analysis, 7th or 8th Ed., Burden and Faires.
GRADING: There will be two exams and a comprehensive final. Homework will be assigned regularly and handed in for grading.
Your course grade will be determined as follows: |
|
The tests will be given in class, closed book. Make-up exams will not be given except in extreme circumstances. |
HOMEWORK: Homework will be assigned regularly. You should expect to do a lot of homework in order to do well in the course. Each homework assignment will be handed in, generally one week after it is assigned, so that a few homework problems (chosen at random) may be graded. Hence, exercises assigned on a Monday would generally be due a week later on the next Monday (barring holidays, etc.)
ATTENDANCE: The student is responsible for all material assigned or discussed in class. Attendance will be taken, and may be used along with class effort (as measured by participation - asking questions, answering other students' questions, group work, etc.) to resolve borderline grades.
WITHDRAWAL: The last day to withdraw from any class is October 31, 2005 with a "W". After that day it is not usually permitted.
OFFICE HOURS: MWF, 11:00-11:45, 2:00-2:50, 6:05-7:00 (MW only). I am also available by appointment, and at random when approached with a smile.
