MATH 517 PROBLEM ASSIGNMENTS


The assignments include both theoretical problems and computational projects.   Here are some guideline for doing  the computation project: 

(1) The program should be written in a relatively formal fashion, be easy to read, and contain comments of major steps;

(2) Please turn in a disk or email me all your programs and data files that are necessary to run your programs, including a simple README file.

(3) You are encouraged to discuss with other fellow students, but you need to finish and turn in your own project separately.
