Mathematics 4650, Spring 2003

Intermediate numerical analysis

• Location: ECCR 118
• Schedule: MWF 2:00PM-2:50PM
• Professor: Walter Taylor
  • Email address: walter.taylor@colorado.edu
  • Office Phone: (303) 492-8344 (Please email if at all possible)
  • Office : Mathematics Building 255
• Office hours:
  • Regular hours: TBA.
  • Or please email me; I almost always can find a time to see you, or possibly I can answer your question directly on email.
• Attendance: To be considered properly enrolled in the course, you must have this hour free on all MWF-days. At no time will I accommodate anyone who has registered for the class with a schedule conflict, academic or otherwise, or anyone who attempts to do so.

  You are expected to be in class every day. On the other hand, if you need to miss one class, on a day when there is no exam, just do it. (In such a case, permission from me is irrelevant.) I am happy to tell you in general terms what we covered in a class you missed. Nevertheless, I really cannot begin to recreate a class situation for you, since much of the material is spontaneous, and depends on student participation.

• Class decorum: No eating. No drinking. No reading of newspapers, etc. No conversation or talking. No exceptions. If you need to do any of these things, please leave the room; I will not be offended. It is of course an absolute no-no to have your cell phone ring during class!

This page pertains only to Professor Taylor's section of Mathematics 4650, for the spring semester of 2003. As far as I know, this is the only section occurring this semester. For other sections or other semesters, other details and regulations will no doubt apply.

An attempt will be made to keep this page up-to-date, but this is not guaranteed. Students are responsible for every assignment made in class, whether or not it ultimately appears on this page.
