CLASS MEETINGS: 1:40-2:30 MWF in room MG 120. Thursday August 30 we will meet at the computer lab in the Simplot/Micron Technology Center (SMITC) Room 209.

TEXT: A Course in Mathematical Modeling by Mooney and Swift, Chapters 1-4.

SUPPLEMENTAL TEXT: Inverse Problems by Groetsch. I will supply copies of appropriate chapters.

GRADING SCHEME: Your grade will be determined by:

• Homework (20%) - In general, homework will be collected for each Chapter. The attached schedule shows the tentative dates that homework will be collected. You are encouraged to collaborate with others, but you must hand in your own paper.
• Group Project (15%) - Projects will be assigned to groups of two or three, and are due November 19. On that date, groups will also give a presentation of their work. Progress reports are due November 5.
• Midterm (20%) - This will be taken in-class October 15. Collaborative work is not allowed. Make-ups are also not allowed, unless there are physician documented health reasons or other documented family difficulties.
• Individual Project (20%) - These are due December 12, and each student will give a presentation of their work December 12 or 13. Progress reports are due November 29.
• Final (25%) - The final is scheduled for Wednesday December 19, from 1:00-3:00 in our regular classrooms. Again, collaborative work is not allowed, nor is it possible to make up or re-schedule the final.
