The following will be due at the beginning of class on the dates indicated. You should turn in your homework by hand. If you cannot make it to class that day you may attach it to an email sent to TJP@math.umd.edu, with the following two conditions:
1) Email submissions must be dated and time-stamped before class time on the due date.
2) One email submission is allowed per semester. (In very extraordinary circumstances, at my discretion, I may allow two.)
For an introduction to Matlab, you can read the first two chapters of the recommended textbook A guide to Matlab for beginners and experienced users.
I highly recommend that you also consult the brief introduction to Matlab prepared by Justin Wyss-Gallifent:
Whenever you use a new Matlab command, you can learn about
it by using the “help” command; e.g., type “help cross” to learn about the “cross” command.

Testbank archives of past exams Search the testbank for either MATH241 or MATH241H, leaving Instructor, Year and Term as “Any”.
All tests are in Acrobat (.pdf) format, and many print well. For ones that don’t, you can choose the “Select Image” tool, highlight each page as a block, copy it, paste it as a picture into a blank word-processing page, and print from there.
