Notes From Class

Week 1 : February 1 and 3, 2000

If you are a University of Maryland student and do not have a Glue computer account, please see the FAQ's for step-by-step instructions on signing up for an account.
If you don't already have a home page, create a file called Welcome.html inside the pub directory. Step-by-step instructions can be found at Question 14 of the Frequently Asked Questions page. Also see the tutorial A Beginners Guide to HTML .
You should be reading Chapters 1 through 4 of Austin/Chancogne.
Homework 1 is available!

Week 2 : February 8 and 10, 2000

In class, we covered chapters 4, 5 and 6 of Austin/Chancogne.
Please check the meet the class page to make sure our information on you is correct. We will take pictures next week.

Week 3 : February 15 and 17, 2000

Homework 2 is available! Note. The third question should read Problem 6.3, not 6.6 as originally written. Then the rest of the question makes sense. For a hint, see Problem 14.5.
A number of students have asked us:
```
    (1) Are they required to use Hungarian notation?
    (2) Can they use C++ instead of ANSI C?
```
The answer to both questions is "yes". If you choose to write C++ code instead of C, then by all means use "cout" and "cin" instead of "printf" and "scanf()." However, the exams will cover ANSI C, and you will be expected to know it, even if you program in C++.
Business School Version of Homework 2. Instead of attempting the engineering problems from Austin/Chancogne, students from the business school can do C solutions to problems 2.24, 2,25, and 2.26 in Hahn (Essential Matlab for Scientists and Engineers). Due date: 9.30 am, February 22.

Week 4 : February 22 and 24, 2000

The class TA (Guilherme Vieira) and I have agreed on the following: Business school students with different types of problems (Bus. prob.) will have to report doubts, questions, etc, directly to Mark Austin. Mark Austin will also grade the business homeworks.
On Tuesday after class I took 12 photographs, but only 8 people gave me their names! Please check the meet the class page to see if your picture is listed. If not, send me an e-mail indicating your name and the image number of the temporary page.
Solutions to Homework 1 are available.
