Assignments:
- Do all the examples in the first Maple tutorial entitled
Basics.
April 3
- 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 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.
Read Sections 0.1, 0.4, and 0.6.
April 3
(Because you should always read sections as we cover the material,
normally I do not post reading assignments.)
- Do this problem on truncation
error.
(requires Acrobat Reader)
April 5
- Section 0.7 – Polynomial Nested Form /
Truncation Error.
April 5
Since the use of Maple is required in this course, you should be
finished with Assignment 1 by now.
Read Section 1.1 before Monday's lecture.
- Section 1.1 – Bisection Method.
April 10
- Write the Maple code for the
Bisection Method.
April 10
NOTE: 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 (model) for writing the codes for other methods.
- Do all the examples in the 8th Maple tutorial entitled
Formatted Printing and Plot Options.
April 11
Then change your Maple code for the bisection method so that it uses
formatted printing.
From now on we will use the
printf command for printing.
- Section 1.2(a) – False Position.
April 11
- Do all the examples in the second Maple tutorial entitled
Solutions of Equations.
April 11
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 programming assignments.
- Section 1.3 – Newton's Method.
April 12
(April 13 was Thomas Jefferson's birthday. He and John Adams died within mere
hours of one another on July 4, 1826... the 50th anniversary of the adoption
of the Declaration of Independence.)
- Section 1.5 – Fixed Point Method.
April 15
-
Program Assignment 1.
Due Monday, April 29 at the beginning of class.
(Posted Wed, April 17)
Read this document before beginning this
assignment.
- You should have the bisection code (see Assignments 4 & 5)
running properly before you attempt this program assignment.
- You should also study the pseudocode for Newton's method
(Assignment 9) and use formatted printing as explained in
Assignment 6.
- Review the Rules Regarding
Programming Projects before working on this assignment.
- Section 1.5(b) – Fixed Point Method with
Aitken Acceleration.
April 18

EXAM 2 CONTENT BEGINS HERE. . .
- Section 3.2 – Newton-Gregory Interpolating
Polynomials.
April 25
- Do this example that shows how to use Maple to generate an
interpolating polynomial through
points.
April 25
- Sections 5.2 & 5.3 – Proper Integrals:
Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson's Rules.
May 1
Note: This is a running assignment — do the problems on
this sheet as we cover the material.
- Section 5.2 – Code for the Trapezoidal Rule.
May 2
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.
(with the correct handout I intended to give you today)
May 2
- Section 5.3: Simpson's – 3/8
Rule.
May 6
Recall that Assignment 15 is a running assignment.
- Do all the examples in the third
Maple Tutorial
entitled Derivatives and Integrals.
May 7
-
Program Assignment 2.
Due Friday, May (Week 17).
Posted Wednesday morning, May 8 (Week 6).
You should have the trapezoidal rule code (see Assignment 16)
running properly before you attempt this program assignment.
You will use it as a template (model) for this project.
Read this document before
beginning this assignment.
- Section 5.6 – Gauss Quadrature.
May 8
- Section 5.1 – Numerical
Differentiation.
May 10
EXAM 2 CONTENT ENDS HERE.
Click here for more details.
- Chapter 6 (a) – Implicit Euler Method.
May 20
- Chapter 6 – Numerical Solutions of ODEs.
May 20
This is a running assignment.
- Write this
Maple code for Euler's Method.
May 20
NOTE: Do this immediately, and play with the code by changing the
nodal stepsize, the interval endpoints, the IC, even the ODE. Use it to
check your work on some of the homework problems.
You will use this code as the template (model) for writing the codes for
other methods and for the third project.
