• Final: 55%
• Textbook: E. Kreyszig, Advanced Engineering Mathematics, 9th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2006.
• Midterm(s): The first midterm is scheduled for Tuesday, October 23, 2007. This midterm will cover the material on homeworks 1, 2, and 3.

  All exams in this class will be closed book, closed notes, and open minds! :) All necessary formulas will be provided.

• Any handouts, including the homeworks, will be posted below.

• Homework 1 (due 11-Sep-2007)
• Handout on the Serret-Frenet basis
• Homework 2 (due 21-Sep-2007)
• Homework 3 (due 05-Oct-2007)
• Midterm 1 topics
• Midterm 1 solutions
• Homework 4 (due 19-Oct-2007)
• Homework 5 (due 02-Nov-2007)
• Homework 6 (due 13-Nov-2007) It is highly advised that you plot the all of the Fourier series in homework 6, as this is the easiest way to see if you have made a mistake. You can use this file to plot the fourier series in Matlab. Alternately, use whatever software you want.
• Homework 6 solutions
• Homework 7 (due 20-Nov-2007)
• Homework 7 solutions
• Midterm 2 review
• Midterm 2 solutions
• Homework 8 (due 10-Dec-2007)
