Grading Policy:

• Homework assignments: 100% of your grade. Homeworks will involve use of PDE2D. You are NOT to consult with other students on these homeworks (though you can consult with me).

Submitting Homework

E-mail me your PDE2D program for each problem part and I will run it myself to see the output. For example, for the first problem set (due July 16) you may send me files name1a.f,name1b.f,name2a.f,name2b.f,name2c.f,name3.f where "name" is your name. Note that even changes to the MATLAB programs can be incorporated into the PDE2D program, so no need to send your pde2d.m program separately, though that is ok too. Homeworks are to be received by midnight A&M time on the due date, at sewell@tamu.edu.

Important: Do not hesitate to e-mail me with questions, for this course I anticipate students will have a lot of minor documentation difficulties, and I don't want you to spend hours trying to figure out things that I could clear up for you in a minute. Your questions may in fact help me to improve the PDE2D documentation in places.

Q-drop deadline is July 24
