Roel Snieder's book A Guided Tour of Mathematical Methods for the Physical Sciences, which is published by Cambridge University Press, is freely available to students in PHGN311 for your own personal use. If you would like to buy a hardcopy of this, Professor Snieder can order it for you at discount, only $40. This is hardly any more than it would cost to photocopy it. We will give out the link in class. If you miss this see either Scales or Snieder.
Homework Assignments
NB. For students in the 10:00 section, any late homework should be turned in directly to Michael Bertolli, who is grading them. He has a mailbox in the Physics Department office with the other graduate students.
Week by Week
Mathematica resources
First tutorial lesson. Fire up Mathematica. Click the upper right-hand "help" menu. Select tutorial.
Tutorial and exercises from PH Field Session, links, sample notebooks
Mathematica tutorial from Wolfram INC
Useful Mathematica Notebooks
Note: If you choose to use these Mathematica Notebooks as templates for a solution you turn in, please observe the following rules:
- Remove existing comments and section headings and replace them with your own. Be sure to put in a written explanation of what you are doing!
- Make sure that your Notebook runs correctly if saved and re-run from scratch with Mathematica. (New users often generate Notebooks consisting of a random sequence of attempts to simplify expressions, with non-reproducible results because competing variable definitions were used at different times.)
- If you turn in a printout, make sure it is printed `2up', i.e., with two logical Notebook pages per physical sheet. This is easy enough to read without wasting paper.
