Gottfried W. Leibnitz:
   It is unworthy for excellent men
to lose hours like slaves in the labour of calculation
    which could be safely relegated to anyone else if machines
were used.
| Assignment | What? | Assigned | Due | 
| one | Chapter One:  2, 4, 6, 8,10, 14, 22, 26, 32, 36 POSTED | 30 August 4th Edition | |
| two | Chapter Two:  1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 16, 22, 23, 29, 
    32, 37 POSTED For #22, this works: F=[zeros(2,4);0:1:3;zeros(1,1),10:-2:6;zeros(1,1),20:6:32]' Seems dopey to type zeros(1,1) rather 
    than just 0. | 4 September 4th Edition | |
| three | Chapter Three:  1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 17, 21, 
    27, 31 POSTED Note: #7a That should read 1% of FINAL value. The initial value is zero. The solution in the solutions manual is for the current reaching 99% of its final value. t99=-(L/R)*log(1-R/V*0.99*if) But, the final current is if = V/R. Therefore t99=-L/R*log(1-R/V*0.99*V/R)=-L/R*log(0.01). For 1% of the final value, it's t01=-L/r*log(0.99). | 11 September 4th Edition | |
| four | Chapter 4:  1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 17, 19, 21, 23, 28 POSTED | 16 September 4th Edition | |
