Homework and Matlab Projects

There will be assigned and suggested homework problems chosen from the textbook. A random selection of problems will be graded. Students are required to solve all homework problems  after each lecture in order to gain a better understanding of the course material and prepare for exams.

EO students should submit their homework assignments and Matlab projects in a pdf format (a single .pdf file for each assignment) by email barannyk@uidaho.edu  by the end of the due day. There is 3 business day grace period. Late homework after the grace period will not be accepted.

Matlab is available through VLAB at https://vlab.uidaho.edu/vpn/index.html

If you have problems with installing or running Matlab, please contact the ITS Help Desk at

Matlab Project # 2: .pdf   due September 22

All necessary files together can be found here: programs_project2.zip.  If the links below to .m files do not work, please download these .m files from  programs_project2.zip.
 
1) Numerical methods (Euler, Modified Euler, Runge-Kutta) can be written in Matlab using functions that can be used for solving various 1st order IVPs without rewriting them each time for a specific equation is mind. Functions are .m files. The right hand side function f(x,y) is evaluated using a separate function f.m (see below). A different differential equation would require an update of function f.m.

Matlab ODE solvers: Euler, Improved/Modified Euler, Runge-Kutta

These solvers implement three methods: Euler, Modified Euler and 4th order Runge-Kutta.

Matlab function that defines the right hand side of a differential equation y'=f(x,y) f.m

In this example written as a program main.m all the above numerical methods are called to solve an IVP. The numerical results are compared with a known exact solution. This is the main program that calls ODE solvers, which in turn call function f.m to evaluate f(x,y) needed for ODE solvers.

Matlab function that computes exact solution of y'=f(x,y) at grid points: exact_sol.m that is derived here.

Please  note that when you need to solve an initial value problem for which exact solution is not available, you would need to comments lines where exact solution and errors are computed and plotted (lines 19-23, 28-32, 62-92).

For comparison:
 
2) Sample program implementing Euler method for y'=x+y, y(0)=1

In this example, the Euler method is implemented directly for solving IVP y'=x+y. If a differential equation changes, the program needs to be rewritten.

Exam Proctoring

Please visit the proctor/exam information page on the website. https://eo.uidaho.edu/proctor

 

Students living outside of the United States will be required to use approved testing centers as their proctors. A testing center is a university, business, or military department with the primary purpose of proctoring tests and exams under direct observation. Students are required to provide a name of a person who will be the primary contact at the testing center. EO reserves the right to require students to take exams at specific pre-approved testing centers in locations outside of the United States.

 

You can view our proctor approved map to see if there is an approved testing center at the location you will be this summer.https://eo.uidaho.edu/map-international-proctors

 

If you know of a University Testing Center in the area you will be visiting that is not on our map you can submit that proctor to our office and we can begin the approval process before the semester starts: https://eo.uidaho.edu/proctorform

 

If you have any further questions please contact theg office at eo-support@uidaho.edu.
