Instructions and suggestions
As was announced in class, the first graded problem can be found at the end of Chapter 12, on pages 603 and 604. It is called "Project 1. A Heater in a Room".
After you have figured out how to solve the
various parts of the problem, you will need to write up your
solutions, explaining your reasoning. You should include a photocopy
(or handmade copy, if you prefer) of Figure 12.92, the figure used in
the statement of the problem, and, for each part of the problem, you
should include the stated question or problem as it appears in the
text. Your solutions should be written in standard English. You will,
of course, use mathematical symbols, expressions, and equations,
perhaps some graphs or diagrams, but you should do so within the
framework of standard English (paragraphs, sentences that begin with
capital letters and end with periods, and so forth).
Handwritten solutions (pen or pencil) are fine, but they should be
readily legible and they should be dark enough to yield easily
readable photocopy.
I suggest you collaborate in groups of two or three, but you should each write up your solutions on your own.
Start on this assignment as soon as possible.
You may discuss this assignment with anyone or
consult other source materials. Acknowledge useful conversations that
you have with anyone, including those in your group, and acknowledge
sources other than the course text. You must, of course, write each
solution on your own.
Note that you should include a copy of the following checklist
with your writeup. Use this checklist yourself before you submit
your graded problem to me.
Feel free to see me with questions! Questions by e-mail or in MATH205-1-F03 Q&A are also welcome.
Checklist for GP1.
