Assignments:
- Do all the examples in the first Maple tutorial entitled
Basics.
October 7
- Do not use the shortcut menu buttons in the left panel of Maple.
Rather, manually type the commands as they appear in the Maple examples.
- You should work all assigned Maple examples immediately after they
are posted to help you prepare for the programming assignments.
- There may be Maple related questions on exams (see the course policy).
Kettering has made Maple amply available on many PCs throughout the AB and
on the "KU Cloud" (Citrux Receiver).
- Watch this
Maple Video Tutorial 1
and work through every example in a Maple session.
Oct. 7
- Do these problems on truncation
error. (pdf document)
October 10
Recall that the date indicates the date on which the assignment was posted. It is NOT a due date.
Complete the assigned homework immediately so that you do not start falling behind.
Since the use of Maple is required in this course, you should be
finishing Assignments 1 and 2 by now.
Oct. 10
Are you recording your study time in your
Study Journal DAILY as required?
Maple Video Tutorial 2
over functions v. expressions, and work
through every example in a Maple session.
Oct. 11
- Section 1.1 – Bisection Method.
Oct. 15
Please form
teams of 4 for working the Programming Assignments.
Your team may include students from either
of my two sections of MATH-305.
- Watch this
Maple Video Tutorial 3
and work through every example in a Maple session.
It is very important that you work through these tutorials!
They prepare you for the Program Assignments.
Oct. 17
- Write the Maple code
for the Bisection Method.
Oct. 17
NOTE: DO NOT COPY AND PASTE the commands into a Maple
session!
Doing so will introduce hidden control characters into the Maple
session and it will produce errors!
Do this immediately, and play with the code by changing the
starting interval, the tolerance, even the function.
You will use this
code as the template for writing the codes for other methods and for our
first programming assignment.
- Section 1.2(a) – False Position.
Oct. 18
- After getting the Maple code for the bisection method to run correctly,
read and work through ALL the examples in the Maple tutorial entitled
Formatted Printing
and Plot Options. ESPECIALLY STUDY how to do formatted printing;
i.e., how to use the printf command.
Oct. 21
After learning how to use the printf command correctly, then change your Maple
code for the bisection method so that it uses formatted printing
(printf)
and prints:
- the iteration number as an integer to 5 digits,
- each iterate xm in floating point (decimal) form showing 8 decimal places,
- f(xm) in scientific notation showing 6 decimal places, and
- the interval length in scientific notation showing 5 decimal places.
YOU CANNOT SIMPLY REPLACE
lprint WITH
printf !
Doing so will not work.
If you have problems using
printf
on this assignment or on Program Assignment 1,
I WILL instruct you to carefully and thoroughly study this tutorial
and watch the video tutorials I posted!
They CLEARLY explain how to use
printf.
From now on we will use the
printf command when printing output in
table form.
See these examples of
Bad Tables.
Explain why these tables are bad.
(Would you give these tables to your supervisor at work?)
- Section 1.3 – Newton's Method.
Oct. 21
- Do all the examples in the second Maple tutorial entitled
Solutions of Equations.
Oct. 24
You should complete Assignment 1 before doing this one.
Remember that these assignments will
acquaint (or reacquaint)
you with Maple and prepare you for the program (coding) assignments.
- Section 1.5 – Fixed Point Method.
Oct. 24
- Section 1.5(b) –
Fixed Point Method with Aitken Acceleration.

EXAM 1 CONTENT ENDS
HERE. . .
Here is the Crib Sheet
that I will provide you during the exam.
It may include anything from Assignment 1 through 14.
Read this for helpful
info about the exam.
See more exam information here >>.
EXAM 2 CONTENT BEGINS HERE. . .
- Section 3.1 – Binomial Coefficients and Differences.
Oct. 29
This will NOT be on Exam 1, but it is a simple assignment that you might want
to do immediately while it is fresh. DEFINITELY do this assignment
BEFORE
Friday's lecture!
- Section 3.2 – Newton-Gregory Interpolating
Polynomials.
Nov. 1 (begun early Week 4)
- Determine the Optimal Interpolation
Degree.
Nov. 1
-
Program Assignment 1.
Due Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 11:59 p.m. on Bb
(posted on Bb under Week 1 and notified on Nov. 7)
Here are some of the
results
you should obtain in Part I.
Do NOT proceed to Part II until Part I works correctly.
- Do this example that shows how to use Maple to generate an
interpolating polynomial through
points.
Nov. 7
- Sections 5.2 & 5.3 – Proper Integrals:
Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson's Rules.
Nov. 7
Note: This is a running assignment — do the problems on
this sheet as we cover the material.
- Write the Maple code for the trapezoidal rule.
Nov. 11
NOTE: Do this immediately, and play with the code by changing the
number of subintervals, the limits of integration, even the integrand
f(x).
You will use this code as the template (model) for writing the codes for
other methods and for the second programming assignment.
- Section 5.3: Simpson's – 1/3 Rule.
Nov. 11
