- Final project abstract
which includes a list of references at the end of it
(references are not included in the word count) due by 12:00pm
as an electronic file I can read with University software posted to the
WebCT bulletin board. This file will be posted onto the main web page.
|
| June 30 - Wed |
- Complete and correct Test 2 revisions due for +15 (See WebCT
posting on this). If the revisions are not complete and correct, then
you will receive 0 extra points. I'm happy to check over them for
you in office hours before they are due.
- Test 3 study suggestions
|
| June 22 - Tues |
- Read over PS 6 solutions and the study guide for the test
- Read over WebCT posting about test 2 revisions, and begin working
on them.
- Final project proposal (a short description of what you plan to
do) and preliminary list of references due by 5pm. Your topic needs to be
pre-approved by me as there is a limit to the number of people per topic.

| June 28 - Mon |
- PS 6 due at 5pm -
See Problem Set Guidelines and
Sample Problem Set Write-Ups
7.1 #14 by hand and on Maple via the Evectors(A);
or Eigenvectors(A); command --
also compare your answers and resolve any apparent conflicts.
LAMP Module 6.1
Problem 4 Parts A and C: Rotation matrices in R2
Note: To print out geometric pictures for part A, use
Headtail(M); on specific rotation matrices such as
M:=Rotatemat(0); This gives a static picture, instead of
Clock(M); which gives an animation that won't print out.
Note: Headtail only seems to work on Macs - not on PC's!
Also, in part C, look at the eigenvalues and solve for the possible theta
that will yield real numbers (recall that the square root of a negative
number does not exist as a real number and that
cos(theta) is less than or equal to 1 always.) Ignore the portion of
part c that refers back to part b.
7.2 7, 18, and 24
LAMP Module 6.3 Problem 4 Part A:
More foxes and rabbits (Predator-prey model).
Hint See p. 348 Section 3 and Example 3A up until
about 1/3 the way down on p. 349 "tend toward the zero vector in the limit."
and complete a similar analysis after following the directions by
changing the setup in section 4.
EXTRA CREDIT for Part B
|

- Read my message on the bulletin board about test 1 revisions,

Extra points will only be granted if you have complete and correct
revisions.
