Differential Equations Project Guidelines


Please read this  carefully. Not following the instructions, including the writing guidelines, can have a very negative impact on your grade! By clicking the link at the bottom and continuing to the assignment, you certify that you have read and agree to the following regulations.

This lab is due in lecture on Friday, October 31. YOU MUST ALSO SUBMIT YOUR PROJECT TO AMESS. Late labs are not accepted. You are encouraged to work in groups of no more than 3 people ( you may work with anyone currently in 2360, and you turn in only ONE copy of the project), though you may work alone.

NOTE: to upload to AMESS your file must be in .pdf format.  The computer labs in the engineering building have a version of Microsoft Word that will allow you to save in .pdf format.  If you want the option to save in .pdf format on your personal version of Word 2007 then you will have to download the additional add in from the Microsoft website. 

On your title page, clearly mark the following information for all group members:

If you do not include this information, as much as 5% will be deducted from your final score.   Format is worth 20% of your grade.  Please refer to the following writing guidelines for the expository sections of this report:

Writing Guidelines for Labs

You are required to know and follow the Writing Guidelines for all three labs.

Take a look at this sample project and examples of "HOW TO" and "HOW NOT TO" present your results.

Getting help: If you are having trouble using Matlab, some resources can be found on the Differential Equations Lab website (For this project you may find weeks 7,8, 12 and 13 useful). In addition, TA's will be holding regular office hours in the Applied Math Undergraduate Lab (ECCR 143) during the week that the lab is due.

 certify that you have read and agree to the above regulations.
