Our final presentations for the graduate students will be on Friday, December 13, 6:00 - 8:00 pm in Bannow 139. Each presentation should aim to be about 30 minutes in length.
Undergraduate students are expected to attend and ask questions during and after the presentations.
Quiz 5 will be given during the first 20 minutes of class on Wednesday, December 4.
The quiz will focus on Romberg integration from table data, and Gaussian quadrature.
Quiz 4 will be given during the first 15 minutes of class on Wednesday, November 13.
The quiz will focus on the 3-point midpoint formula with error term for numerical integration; and the application of Richardson's extrapolation for numerical integration.
Quiz 2 will be given during the first 15 minutes of class on Wednesday, October 9.
The quiz will focus on Newton's method, which you should be able to implement, and the definition of Lagrange interpolating polynomial, which you should be able to form from a given set of data points.
Quiz 1 will be given during the first 15 minutes of class on Wednesday, September 25.
The quiz will focus on elementary approximation methods. You should know how to construct a Taylor polynomial and an expression for its error bound. Be able to use it and/or the Bisection Method to approximate the value of a function. You may use a calculator on the quiz, but not your laptop.
The schedule for the Math Department Colloquium has been set for the semester. There will be four colloquia held on the following dates.
