• 02/07/2006: Recitation section moved to room 163, B&H, 5PM - 7PM.

• 02/14/2006: For problem 1 in HW3, assume for small displacements, z = L, d/dt(z) = 0, d²/dt²(z) = 0.

• 02/14/200: Numerical integration of differential equations using MATLAB: For students who need any help in this, we have arranged a section with Nikhil (TA for this course) in 751 B&H, at 4 PM - 5 PM, 02/14/2006. Depending on number of interested students, we will move this section to Computational Lab on first floor of B&H.

• 02/17/2006: Recitation section will be held Tuesday, 02/21/2006, 5 PM - 7 PM in B&H 161.

• 02/27/2006: Prof. Clifton's office hours are cancelled for 02/28. In case anyone has any questions, please see Nikhil 4-5 PM in B&H 750-B or during recitation section 5-7 PM in B&H 161.

• A simple MATLAB routine to compute c = sqrt(a² + b²), where a and b are vectors of length N. 

             ^{% Define a and b}

               ^{a = 1:10;}

               ^{b = 1:2:20;}

            ^{% Compute c}

              ^{c = sqrt(a.*a + b.*b);}

             ^{% Or, this can also work!}

              ^{c = zeros(1,10);}

              ^{for i=1:10}

                   ^{c(i) = sqrt( a(i)*a(i) + b(i)*b(i) );}

              ^end

• ^{03/08/2006: No class on Friday 03/10/2006. Also, there will be no office hours with Prof. Clifton on Thursday 03/09/2006. Those who need any help, please see Nikhil in B&H 750-B.}

• ^{Please pick up your graded HW6 from the box outside Prof. Clifton's office. Prof. Clifton will bring with him any that remain to the recitation section at 5 PM in B&H 161}

• ^{03/21/2006: Revision of latest homework set: Please note that problem # 4 is moved to next homework set, so you need not turn in HW7 with problem #4.}

• ^{04/06/2006: New homework set posted: HW9}

• ^{05/05/2006: About HW#11 and rattleback presentations}

• ^{05/09/2006: Some solved problems and as well as homework solutions are added. Please check hwsolution as well as resources page.}

• ^{05/09/2006: Good luck with your exam!}
