Software is not required for this course. However, it is a great advantage to know a package so that you can check your manual work. I recommend MAPLE. Materials for this course will be distributed as MAPLE files. You can use the copy of Maple in the Eads computer lab to open and view the distributed files. The release there (5.1) is about five years out of date. The student edition of the current version, Release 8 can be purchased at the book store for around the price of the course textbook. It is a better value.
In the first assignment that covers a topic you must complete the
computation "as if by hand." If you use software then that means that
you must use the software step-by-step to obtain the answer. For
example, the first assignment is about solving linear systems.
The software package Maple has a one line command,
linsolve(A,b) to solve the linear system Ax=b.
If you use Maple in the first
assignment then you may not call on linsolve. You must use
the step by step commands such as addrow, mulrow,
and swaprow. If you have to solve a linear system in any later
assignment then you may feel free to call on linsolve.
You may use any other software package but help is available only for Maple. Reference sheets for using Maple are given in the assignments. Download them from this directory and place them in a directory with your homework assignment. When you do the assignment, clicking the hyperlink in the assignment will open up the reference worksheet.
Whatever the software that is used you must show every step of a computation but you need not show the result of every step. In Maple that means using the colon as a (silent) command terminator for every step up to the last. The final answer is then displayed using the semicolon terminator. No need to sacrifice a stand of trees every assignment.
| Maple files (worksheets) are not intended for viewing with a browser. You must open them with a Maple reader. Your system may be configured to launch such a reader when you click on a link to a *.mws file. If not, then just save the file. For, example, if you are using Netscape from a Windows platform, then right-click on a worksheet link and choose the "Save As" option. Because Maple worksheets are plain text files, browsers will display them as text. However, the characters will have no meaning to you. If this happens, ignore the display, and save the downloaded file (preferably with the Maple worksheet mws extension). Then use Maple to open up the file that you have saved. |
