Department of Systems and Computer Engineering Numerical Methods Course Outline

Winter 2012/13

Office hours will be posted on WebCT. Course Description: Numerical algorithms and tools for engineering and problem solving. Sources of error and error propagation, solution of systems of linear equations, curve fitting, polynomial interpolation and splines, numerical differentiation and integration, root finding, solution of differential equations. Software tools. Precludes additional credit for SYSC 2606 Prerequisites: MATH 1005 and ECOR 1606 and (ECOR 1010 or ELEC 1908). Instructional Resources: Course material will be posted on WebCT. The URL is http://webct6.carleton.ca The course material is covered by both of the texts below. Either may be used: Numerical Methods for Engineers and Scientists, Amos Gilat and Vish Subramaniam, 2nd edition, ISBN13 9780470565155 available as an e-book from
http://ca.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-EHEP001601.html

Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB by Steven C Chapra (second or third edition)

Grading Scheme: Element Lab Exams Assignments Midterm Exam (80 min) Final (3 hours) Dates See lab schedule (next page) Details TBA During class on either or Feb 26 or Feb 28 (exact date TBA) During the university's exam period Weight 25% (5% each) 10% 15% 50%

a) In order to pass the course, students must pass the final exam. b) Lab attendance may be taken into account in assigning a student's final grade. c) There will be no alternate scheduled time for the midterm examination. Students who miss it will receive a mark of zero unless they have a legitimate reason for being absent (in which case the weight of the midterm will be added to the weight of the final examination). d) The final exam will not be returned to students. Calculators: Only approved calculators may be used during tests. The list of approved calculators will be posted on Web CT. Students whose calculators are not on this list may apply to have them added to it.. Any such applications must be made well in advance of a test. Graphing and programmable calculators will not be considered..

Health and Safety: Every student should have a copy of our Health and Safety Manual. An electronic version of the manual can be found at http://www.sce.carleton.ca/courses/health-and-safety.pdf Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: The Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities (PMC) provides services to students with Learning Disabilities (LD), psychiatric/mental health disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), chronic medical conditions, and impairments in mobility, hearing, and vision. If you have a disability requiring academic accommodations in this course, please contact PMC at 613520-6608 or pmc@carleton.ca for a formal evaluation. If you are already registered with the PMC, contact your PMC coordinator to send me your Letter of Accommodation at the beginning of the term, and no later than two weeks before the first in-class scheduled test or exam requiring accommodation. After requesting accommodation from PMC, meet with me to ensure accommodation arrangements are made. Please consult the PMC website for the deadline to request accommodations for the formally-scheduled exam.
