Aims & Objectives
To provide students the techniques of solving mathematical problems by using various numerical
methods.
Marks Distribution:
Assignments (Written / MATLab) + Class Quizzes + Project(s) 25%
Midterm Examination 25%
Final Examination 50%
Assignments:
Assignments would be assigned at least one week before the due date and must be submitted
on or before due date. No late assignment will be accepted. Total of 2 to 3 assignments
would be assigned during the semester. You have to be very careful while you are solving
your assignment. Please do not try copy from someone else in order to avoid any problem at
the end of the semester.
Class Quizzes:
To check the class performance, sudden tests or class quizzes would be taken in class
throughout the semester. At least 2 quizzes would be taken during the semester. These
quizzes have to be solved in the class and they would be of short duration. There would be
no LATE submission or MAKEUP for these quizzes.
