CS3911 Recent Announcements

This course requires extensive programming skills, basic knowledge in data structures, a good understanding in calculus (e.g., differentiation and integration, and basic ordinary differential equations) and linear algebra (e.g., systems of linear equations, eigen values and eigen vectors), and some calculation skills you acquired throughout your high school and university courses. Due to time limitation, there will be NO review of these materials. You should be well-prepared before entering this course. Insufficient programming skills and knowledge in data structures, calculus, and linear algebra CANNOT be used as an excuse.

We shall have an in-class 50-minute exam on November 6, Friday. This is a close-book exam. Bring in your calculator as you will need it.

Topics covered in this exam include everything discussed from the beginning of this semester to the end of Monday class and Fortran 90 programming. Thus, Lagrange interpolation, which will be discussed on Monday, IS included. However, we will concentrate on materials discussed after Exam 1.

Problems similar to those in Exam 1 will be ``recycled''. These problems will be graded on an all-or-nothing base as their solutions have been posted on the course web page and discussed in class for a long time.

Some indicated that you used degree rather than radian in Exam 1's calculation. This is certainly wrong because, as discussed in class, trigonometric functions use radian by default. However, I'd like to give you a chance with minor deduction. Send me a e-mail with subject line [3911 Exam 1 in Radian] along with your full name. I will look at your paper and see if you could get some points back. But, I will do it only if you finished the last problems. Do it by 5pm October 6, 2009. Otherwise, I will keep your grade as is.
