Project III
3.4: 3 (write 20cm as 0.2m), 5 (first read the instructions above the problem, and read pages 183-184), 6 (this means the pendulum takes 24 hours 2 minutes and 40 seconds at the equator to complete as many cycles as it does during 24 hours at Paris), 13, 14 (And for # 13, 14: determine whether the system is overdamped, critically damped, or underdamped.),

Grades/Curve: Grades will be based on the percentages below. Curve will be applied if needed.
Midterm 1: Monday, September 22, 10% of your grade.
Midterm 2: Wednesday, October 22, 20% of your grade.
Midterm 3: Thursday, November 20, 20% of your grade.
Final Exam: 7:00-10:00 PM, Friday, December 12, 40% of your grade.
Homework: Assigned every week. Worth 10%, possibly spot checked (spot checked means: some spot(s) of each homework checked, and all will be collected). Lowest homework grade dropped. Some homework will be iode based (see below).
Iode: Iode is a free software package tailored for this course. We will spend some time in the computer lab learning this software and you will be assigned some homework using it. See https://math.uiuc.edu/iode/. Iode requires Matlab or Octave (version 2, not 3). Matlab is available in the lab and Octave is free so you need not purchase anything.
Test Policies: No books, notes, calculators or computers allowed on the exams or the final.
