Course Objectives.

This course aims to introduce you to performing mathematics computations with Maple. The other major goal of this course is to teach you how to write papers explaining mathematical computations, in a manner that is clear and concise.

 

Co-requisite Course: Math2200

A student who is withdrawn from Math2200 or Math2200L should withdraw from the co-requisite course.

Project Format.

In this Lab, you will work five projects. You may collaborate with other students; however, you must write each project by yourself, using your own words. Reports should be neat and professional, no handwriting on the report except your signature.

-Each project consists of 3 parts: Introduction, Main Part, and Academic honesty statement.(No conclusion.)

-Write in the introduction what you work in the project, having at least 4 lines; if less than 4 lines, your score will be off.

-Recommended to explain each step with sentences what you are going to do before Maple syntaxes; note that your explanation should be reasonable.

 

Course grading.

Projects-60%

-10 points are possible for each project. 2 points will be taken off if late.

-At most one revision can be allowed for each project. If one revises it, the grade of the project is accumulated as follows:

(The first submission + the revision)/2

Final Quiz-10%

Participation-30%

A:90%~100%; B:80%~89%; C:70%~79%; D:60%~69%; W or WF:59%~ or more than 5 absences.

 

Attendance Policy.

A student with 5 excused or unexcused absences will be withdrawn from the lab at any time of the semester. Three unexcused absences or more will result in lowering one¡¯s course grade by one letter; e.g., if a student misses thee labs and gets A on projects, then it will be lowered to B. At most two make ups are allowed, and a makeup form is available from the instructor.

 

The Academic honesty Statement.

The student¡¯s signature and a copy of the Academic Honesty Statement should be included at the very end of each report. Students are encouraged to work with other students; however, the reports should NOT be identical. That is, students are supposed to use their own words to explain their works. If this statement or signature is missing, then the report will not be graded and will be returned to the student. See http://www.uga.edu/~vpaa for more information.
