Course Information

Course Outline

This course is intended to teach numerical computing, symbolic computing, and graphical visualization through the use of mathematical and computational software (i.e. MATLAB) so as to familiarize the students with computing skills.

Course Format

  • Material related to the lab will be introduced, explained and demonstrated in the lecture.
  • Students then use MATLAB in the lab to get the answers required on the lab assignment sheet.

Text and References

Text

References

MATLAB Books

Numerical Methods

Mathematical Modelling

Optimization

This is available at the CUHK library.

The text/reference should not be treated as a substitute for the lectures. The lectures may present the material covered in the text in a different manner, or deviate from it entirely. You should take your own notes in class.

Academic Offenses

The Chinese University of Hong Kong places very high importance on honesty in academic work submitted by students, and adopts a policy of zero tolerance on cheating and plagiarism. Any related offence will lead to disciplinary action including termination of studies at the University. For information on categories of offenses and types of penalties, students should consult the following link: , or doc.

Evaluation

Your final letter-grade will be determined by your point Ranking viz. your final score (out of 100 points). The total score for your course grades is distributed as follows:

Class Participation and Classroom Activities
10%
Laboratory Assignments
50% (Each 5%)
(Absolutely no late assignments will be accepted.)
One homework programming assignment
10%
Please visit our lecture note website for the due date of your Homework.
Two in-class, open-book tests
30% (Each 15%)
(on March 1 and April 19)

Homework

There will be one homework programming assignment.

Please note that you MUST do the whole homework entirely by yourself. In case of difficulty, you may consult the instructor and the tutors during their office hours. Any answers that show evidence of having been done with others will receive a score of zero; stronger action may also be taken (visit ). Don’t copy the work of others! Be neat, concise and well-organized.

Late homework answers will NOT be graded, and will receive a score of zero.

Important Remarks

  • If you are found cheating (in the tests or in the lab or on homework assignments), you will automatically get an F grade in this course and your act will be reported to the Department for necessary disciplinary actions.
  • To avoid copying of programs, your programs may be spot-checked, i.e., you will be asked questions regarding the statements in your program.
  • Please do not let others copy your programs or results as we have no way to tell who is copying who and you may be liable for the penalties.
