* = computer problem requiring MATLAB

Grades

Grade = 0.5*HW + 0.25*TestI + 0.25*TestII, where

HW = homework average
TestI = test grade over Chapters 1-4, Oct 12
TestII = test grade over Chapters 5+, Dec 9

Homeworks
- Turn in printout (only) of MATLAB program and output. Tutorials on using MATLAB are here and here . Information on running MATLAB at my.apps.utep.edu is here. You can also get a free copy of MATLAB for your own computer here!
- homeworks are individual, not group, projects; and don't use the book MATLAB programs. Please don't turn in copies of other students' homework, or use rogue websites like Chegg or Slader
- homework will be collected every due date, and selected problems will be graded
- homeworks can be PDF, JPG or Word files (as few files as possible!).
- late homework not accepted.
Tests
- On-line tests on Blackboard
