               Chapter 2 - Solutions of Equations in One Variable
               Chapter 3 - Interpolation and Polynomial Approximation
               Chapter 4 -
Numerical Differentiation and Integration

General Information. Four exams and a comprehensive final will be given. Homework will collected once each week. You may use a calculator or computer for the exercises. (Caution: Do not overuse.) The computer software Mathcad will be used for projects, assignments, and writing programs. We will not do proofs as rigorous as in Math 361 - Analysis, but we will do some proofs that help explain the processes. You will be expected to write some of these proofs.

Final Exam: December 19th at 3:00 p.m. Comprehensive final.

GRADES:  Grades will be based on the total points from exams, comprehensive final exam, collected assignments, and quizzes. Grades will be based on the following scale:
                A:  90% to 100%
                B:  80% to 89%
                C:  70% to 79%
                D:  60% to 69%
                F:  Below 60%

Makeup exams will be given only in cases of extreme illness, family emergency, or university-approved activities;  you must notify me before the exam takes place.
