Readings
The first assignment is to read and know the
contents of Chapter 1 on my web site and
Chapter 1, in the text by S&S, except
sections 1-6 and 1-7.
Read RJP Chapter 2 and S&S Chapter 2, sections
1 - 4 by 01-20-2012.
Read RJP Chapter 3 & 4A and S&S All
of Chapter 2 &Chapter 3 by 02-07-2012.
Read RJP Chapter 4B and S&S Chapter
4 thru section 6 by 02-10-2012.
Read RJP Chapter 5 thru
5-5 and S&S Chapter 4 thru section 7 by 02-17-2012.
Problems
Problems in red have been assigned and are outstanding
Problems in green have been graded,
or done in class.
Solutions for problems in magenta have been
posted..
Problems in light blue have not been assigned yet.
RJP problems are found in another document on this web site.
Problems are not to be submitted unless so listed
in the document titled "ANNOUNCEMENTS
or informed by e-mail. Problems to be submitted
and due date will not be posted here.
Use only 8.5 in. by 11 in. standard size paper,
lined or unlined. There should be no serrated or
jagged edges to any page. Write on only
one side of a page. All pages of a problem must be
stapled together in the upper left corner; no
paper clips. Start a new problem on a new page
and do not staple together the pages of different
problems.
The solution to any problem that is to be submitted
for grading must be adequately annotated
so that any 15-year old can follow how you solved
the problem.
Warning: You will lose points if problems
are not done to my satisfaction, even if you have
the correct answer.
Additionally, when working a problem, do
not put in numbers for the variables and then carry
these numbers along with your mathematical development
for the solution. This tends to result
in numerical errors. Instead, use the algebraic
symbols all through the solution until the vary end.
Then insert the numerical values to get the final
answer. The only exception is, when inserting
numerical values, the equation immediately simplifies.
Carrying along large numers also makes it
more difficult for me to grade the assignment.
So, if you insist on doing this, making life difficult
for me, I will return the favor.
Also, when using very large or very small numbers,
please express them in terms of powers
of ten or in e format, such as, 1.034e6.
When doing numerical calculations, be aware
of how many significant figures you should
have in your answer or you will be penalized.
Numbers given in a problem without a decimal point,
such as T=250 K, may be assumed to have almost
infinite precision and may be written as
250.000.... etc., unless told otherwise.
Remember, you can not have an answer that is more
precise than the least precise number given in
the problem. The exception is when doing a least
squares analysis of data.
The following is a list of Chapters and problems
for that chapter. The Chapter numbers refer to
my online chapters not to those in S&S:
Problem RJP 0-1: Write a FORTRAN program
that computes the function y=x2e-z, where
z = x2/30,
for values of x ranging from 0 to 20 in steps
of 0.10. Write the results to a file with x in the first column
and the values of y in the 2nd column.
Import the file into EXCEL and plot y as a function of x..
Make sure the graph is maximized on the page and
the axes are labeled. A copy of your program and
the EXCEL plot are to be submited on a date that
will be announced later. Use small dots to represent
your data points and do not connect the dots
with a curve.
