Math 246 MatLab Projects, Fall 2020

(24 November version)

There are seven MatLab projects worth 20 points each. Your best five count towards your couse grade. These projects are given below, but are subject to changes announced either here or in class.

When and Where to Turn in Your Projects. Each Project assignment should be submitted through ELMS no later than the designated time on its due date.
If ELMS is down when the project is due then that project should be submitted within 12 hours of ELMS coming back up.
Projects turned in late will be recorded, but may not be graded for full credit.

How Each Project Should Look. You should submit your work by creating an "m" file, using individual cells in the "m" file for each problem, and putting the problem number at the beginning of the cell as a comment. You can split up a multi-part problem into multiple cells, as long as you label each cell. Then you should use the "publish to pdf" option to create a nice looking output. If you are unfamiliar with this procedure, Section 4.4.3 of your textbook Differential Equations with MATLAB describes how to accomplish this. Both your "m" file and the "pdf" file should be submitted through ELMS. Your answers should be presented in the order that the problems are assigned.

MatLab Teams. Your discussion section instructor will assign teams from Project B onward. Be sure you know who is on your team for each project! Each team turns in one version of each project. The names of every team member should be on each project. Each team member is responsible for all the work turned in by the team. This means that while you may have had prime responsiblity for part of the project, you should be aware of how others on the team approached the rest of the project. For starters, you should check that they did the correct problem. You should also understand how they did it. If your team is not working well, notify your discussion section instructor right away!

MatLab Project Assignments

These assignments are drawn from the brand-new electronic version of Differential Equations with MatLab (DEwM), Third Edition,
by Hunt, Lipsman, Osborn, and Rosenberg.
It assumes that you are using MatLab version 2019a or later.
