Presentation Transcript

  1. MTH213 Experimental Mathematics Introduction

  2. Goals of the Course • Introduction to high level programming language (Python) and extensive math libraries (Sage): easy to learn and powerful example of a modern computer algebra system (CAS) • Review of and extensive hands-on experience on fundamental topics studied in Year 1: Calculus, Linear Algebra, Discrete Maths, and beyond • Develop both mathematical understanding/intuition and IT skills; specifically, an ability to test mathematical hypotheses on a CAS • see tools  mathematicians are using "in the trenches" 

  3. Instructors / Tutors Instructors: Dmitrii Pasechnik, Bernhard Schmidt Tutors: Keshav Rao Kini, Punarbasu Purkayastha, Radoslav Kirov, Wei Lei, Yair Zick

  4. Lectures / Tutorials All lectures and tutorials are interactive lab sessions The sessions will be conducted using a web-based system known as Sage Notebook, a part of Sage computer algebra system. Lab servers will be available for out of class work, (almost) 7/24.

  5. Exams • Solutions to be submitted on paper (for both midterm and final exam) • For midterm, but not for final exam, computers will be used

  6. Grading policy Attendance 9% Homework 10% Quizzes 15% Midterm Exam 15% Final Exam 51% Attendance of all lectures and tutorials is compulsory. Maximum score for attendance is 9 points. 1 point will be deducted for each session missed.
