Assignments:
- Do all the examples in the first Maple tutorial entitled
Basics.
Jan. 13
- 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 and tutorials 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).

Please form
teams of 4 for working the Programming Assignments.
Your team may include students from either
of my two sections of MATH-305.

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.
Jan. 21
- Write this Maple code
for the Bisection Method.
Jan. 24
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.
- 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.
Jan. 24
- Do
this assignment
immediately after completing the previous assignment.
Jan. 24
- See these examples of
Bad Tables.
Explain why these tables are bad.
(Would you give these tables to your supervisor at work or include them in your thesis?)
Jan. 24
- Section 1.2(a) False Position.
Jan. 26
- Section 1.3 Newton's Method.
Jan. 28
- Do all the examples in the second Maple tutorial entitled
Solutions of Equations.
Jan. 28
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.
Jan. 28
- Watch this
Maple Video Tutorial 4: Part-I
and work through it in a Maple session.
It is very important that you work through these tutorials!
They prepare you for the Program Assignments.
Jan. 29
- Section 1.5(b)
Fixed Point Method with Aitken Acceleration.
Jan. 30
- Watch this

It is very important that you work through these tutorials!
They prepare you for the Program Assignments.

Because our class meets in 2-hour sessions, most days will have multiple assignments.
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 18.
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.
Feb. 7
- Section 3.2 Newton-Gregory Interpolation.
Feb. 7
- Determine the Optimal Interpolation
Degree.
Feb. 11
- Sections 5.2 & 5.3 Proper Integrals:
Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson's Rules.
Feb. 14
Note: This is a running assignment — do the problems on
this sheet as we cover the material.
ALWAYS rework my examples successfully by yourself BEFORE attempting the assignments.
- Write the Maple code for the trapezoidal rule.
Feb. 14
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.
Feb. 14
- Do all the examples in the third
Maple Tutorial entitled
Derivatives and Integrals.
Feb. 18
- Section 5.3: Simpson's 3/8 Rule.
