- Exam 1 will be in class on 9/30/2011. It will be a 1 hour test, but I will allow people to stay until 12:30 to finish it.
- Exam 2 will be in class on 11/11/2011 (Note this changed from 11/16). Again,it will be a 1 hour test, but I will allow people to stay until 12:30 to finish it.
- Here's a nice Mathematica tutorial made by Zach Boerner: media:mathematicaHelp.nb

Homework
- Problem set 1 due Friday, 9/2:
- Register your iclicker at http://iclicker.com/support/registeryourclicker/
- Send me (pflammer@mines.edu) an email with a picture of yourself, and a paragraph description of who you are. This will give me a hope of knowing who you are by the end of the semester.
- Do the following problems: Thornton 2.6, 2.8, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.22; Solutions: media:350-fa11-HW1Soln.pdf
- Problem set 2 due Friday 9/9:
- Solve the following analytical problems: Thornton 2.25 (except part (d)), 2.28, 2.42; Solutions: media:350-fa11-HW2Soln.pdf
- Do the following numerical problem: media:350-fa11-NHW1.pdf; Solution: media:350-fa11-NHW1Soln.pdf
- Some guidance: We would like you to discretize the integral equations in order to solve this. For instance, a_y=a_y(y,v_y). You know y_0 and v_y0. If you break the problem up into very small time steps dt's, then at time dt v_y(dt)=v_y0+a_y(y_0,v_y0)*dt. Then y(dt)=y_0+v_y0*dt+1/2*a_y(y_0,v_y0)*dt^2. If your dt is small enough, you can even neglect the last term. To get the next time step, you do the same thing again. v_y(2*dt)=v_y(dt)+a_y(y(dt),v_y(dt)) and y(2*dt)=y(dt)+v_y(dt)*dt+1/2*a_y(y(dt),v_y(dt))*dt^2. To get it the stuff at 3*dt, you repeat. Put this into a Do loop or a For loop, and you can do this out to infinity and beyond (not really).
- Problem set 3 due Friday 9/16:
- Do the following problems: Thornton 3.1, 3.2, 3.7, 3.11, 3.13, 3.14; Solutions: media:350-fa11-HW3Soln.pdf
- Problem set 4 due Friday 9/23:
- Solve the following analytical problems: Thornton 3.18, 3.28, 3.38
- Do the following numerical problem: media:350-fa11 NHW2.pdf
- Note: Use the same shooting method as above.
- Note 2: Read through the whole thing before you start programming! I would use the solution from NHW1 as a guide of how to program it. If you do the plots and the module the way it's done there, this will go pretty fast.
