CS/Math 166 Assignments Page

Spring Quarter 2008

PLEASE: when using public computer labs (Kenna, Nobili, or O'Connor), remember that there are others in the room and that the NOISE LEVEL should be kept appropriately LOW! ALSO, in O'Connor, please remember that faculty offices are very near the computer lab and that loud discussion can adversely affect faculty working with students in their offices nearby.

Programs, Written Homework

Programs
NOTE: When doing programming assignments on the departmental Unix/Linux server, I suggest that you create a subdirectory for this course (named, e.g., csma166). It can also help organization to create a new subdirectory for each program, along with a new makefile (if you use makefiles). This can simplify keeping track of code and avoid conflicts with older files.

Machine Problem 1, Due: Wed, Apr 16, 2008
Machine Problem 2, Due: Fri, Apr 25, 2008
Wed, Apr 30, Midterm I
Machine Problem 3, Due: Fri, May 2, 2008
Machine Problem 4, Due: Fri, May 16, 2008
Wed, May 21, Midterm II
Machine Problem 5, Due: Fri, May 30, 2008
The class presentations will take the place of Machine Problem 6.

Written Homework
NOTE that if problems seem appropriate, you are free to code iterative methods in some computer language and obtain the solution via computer. Also for problem pertaining to linear algebra problems, you are free to make use of Matlab/Octave.

Homework 0 (Matlab/Octave Introduction), Due: Fri, Apr 4, 2008.
NOTE: Please use Reflection-X to connect to the "math" departmental Linux server to complete HW 0 if you use Octave rather than Matlab. See this link for information on how to use Reflection-X.
