Note: no late homework will be accepted unless a written verification of a valid excuse (such as hospitalization, family emergency, religious observance, court appearance, etc.) is provided. |
| Matlab | There will be a few assignments and a final quiz. See the website http://www.math.ucsd.edu/~math20f/Spring/MatlabIndex.html for more information. The Matlab homework is due in the drop box before 5:00 pm each due day. |
| Exams |
There will be two midterm and one final, close-book and close-note exams.
No calculators will be allowed in these exams.
