--

R 4/21 On Thursday we will do some graphics animation, see an "odometer program," and dicuss a few other things. This will be our last class day.
If interested, skim through Chapter 10.
 

Midterm 3

R 4/14 Covers everything we've done since the last midterm exam: HWs 6, 7, 8, and their corresponding sections, plus in-class exercises on the S: drive in folders day08, day09, and day10.
Main Topics:
--Multiclause Function Definition
--Recursion
--Iteration: While[], For[], Do[].
 

8

R 4/7 On Thursday we will discuss Iteration (While[], Do[], and For[]). I recommend reading Section 8.1 by then, but it's not required. Think about the Maze Project and try to tell me by Thursday whether or not you think you'll want to do it (no commitments or obligations yet).

7

R 3/31 Section 7.3 (make sure to read the first two paragraphs!).
If you need a review of last Thursday's introduction to Recursion, read Sections 7.1-7.2 before 7.3.
Sec 7.2: 2, 7.
Sec 7.3: 1.
And finish day08 exercises.

6

R 3/24 Sections 6.1-6.3.
If still not comfortable with Rules, then review Sections 5.4-5.6.)
Sec 6.3: 1-3.

Midterm 2

R 3/10 Midterm covers Sections 3.7, 4,5, 4.6, 5.4, 5.6, assigned HW problems, plus in-class exercises (on the S: drive).
Click here for a list of the most important functions and topics you should know.

For practice, here's last year's midterm #2.  This year's midterm will not necessarily be the same as last year's; but there will be some similarities. It is a good way for you to test your preparedness for this midterm.

 

 

5

R 3/3 Optional Recommended: Sections 5.4-5.6. I will teach these topics on March 3; you don't have to read these sections ahead of time, but if you do, it will be helpful.
Start reviewing for the second midterm, which will be on March 10th.
Finish and review all class exercises on the S: drive, as well as all HW problems. 

4

R 2/24 Sections 4.5 and 4.6. Sec 4.5: 3.
Sec 4.6: 1, 7.
And finish last time's class exercises, in the day05 folder on the S: drive.

3

R 2/17 Section 3.7, plus pages 56-57 (also learn how Select[] works). Sec 3.7: 1, 2, 4.
Page 100: 5.
Page 105: 3.

Mid 1

R 2/10 Midterm covers Sections 3.1-3.6, assigned HW problems, plus in-class exercises (on the S: drive).
Click here for a list of the most important functions and topics you should know.

For practice, here's last year's midterm #1 (ignore problem 3a; we have not covered While[] yet). This year's midterm will not necessarily be the same as last year's; but there will be some similarities. It is, nevertheless, a good way for you to test your preparedness for this midterm.

R 2/3 Sections 3.4-3.6. Sec 3.4: 1-3.
Sec 3.6: 1, 2.

1

R 1/27 Sections 3.1-3.3. Sec 3.2: 1-4.
Sec 3.3: 1-5. EC: 6. 

EC: Extra Credit problems are optional. If you do them, you can show them to me during office hours. These are problems that are interesting and sometimes more challenging; and may appear on exams only as extra credit problems (which carry no points).
