<p><font face="serif">Class - being unable to sit at a computer the
last few days has really taken a toll on me and I want you all
to know that I realize not being able to contact me has also
caused some undue stress on you as well. With that said, and
know that many of you are scurrying to get project 2 done I
would like to ease your minds.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">1. For those that did not submit anything on
project 1 -- please try to get me something by the end of this
week.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">2. I would like to reduce the point total for
the class from 100 to 850. We will remove project two from the
normal grade. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">3. Getting project 2 complete and to me by
tomorrow night (with the DFT working properly and 4 integration
techniques) will be considered EXTRA CREDIT. I know some of you
have been working hard on this and I want you to get credit for
your work.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">4. The exam is scheduled Thursday night --
7-10 pm. 1/3 of the final will be from items covered in chapters
7, 8, and 10. You will not have to take any partial derivatives,
but you might have to set up some matrices. Please review the
Jacobi method and know how to use it. You should also review
the matrix forms of the least squares problems. The remainder
of the exam will pertain to algorithms and how to implement them
properly.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">5. My plan is to be on campus for a few hours
on Wednesday afternoon to return the exams that some of you took.
I am still waiting to find out when I have to have some tests
run - so I am having to schedule around that. I will do my best
to let you all know when I am going to be on campus.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">Now -- a modification to the syllabus requires
a vote by the class with a simple majority winning. If you are
okay with the proposed syllabus modification, please email me
the following.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">I AGREE WITH THE PROPOSED CHANGE.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif"> if you do not want me to do this then please
e-mail <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE PROPOSED CHANGE.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">Since I know that several of your classmates
do not check e-mail from this listserve, please spread the word
so we can get this done. <br>
