Math 128B: Information from the Instructor

Introduction

We study some of the more advanced techniques in scientific computing, based on the knowledge we acquired in Math 128A.

At the begining of the semester, students will be encouraged to suggest topics to be covered in the class. I hope to largely cover Chapter 7 through Chapter 12 in Burden and Faires, plus one or two topics of interest to the class. If you have any suggestion or a question about something that is not covered here, or if you wish to talk with your GSI or me, the easiest way is to come during office hours. Otherwise, please make an appointment by sending the staff electronic mail.
This information document covers the following subjects: how to contact the staff, prerequisites, textbooks, course work and grading, late penalties.
