Syllabus: Schedule,
assignments, and lectures
In the spring semester of 2013 there will be two sections
of the course MA 528: one regular session with 60 seats
that meets in a studio room where every lecture will be
taped on streaming video, and one "on campus distance
learning" section that has access to the streaming videos.
In this class we will study several of the major areas of
mathematics that are useful in engineering, including
vector calculus, complex variables, calculus of residues
and applications, conformal mapping and potential theory.
Information for on-campus
distance learning students:
Lectures can be
downloaded by logging in to ProEd
at Purdue with an ID and a password that will be
posted on Blackboard
and e-mailed to every student registered in the
on-campus distance learning section in the week before
classes start. The lectures can be viewed any time from
any computer
starting about two hours after the recording. There will be a room made
available to all distance learning students where they
can view the lectures together at regular meeting times.
Help The instructor will be available for
answering questions about the material and discussing
problems with the course during office hours or by
appointment and can be reached by e-mail and phone.
Homework:
Homework will be collected weekly in class, typically on Wednesdays.
For on- and off- campus distance learning students:
will be collected weekly by e-mail, graded and returned by e-mail as well. Detailed instructions can be found here.
Two Midterms will be given as common evening exams together with the on-campus students attending the live class. The dates of the Midterm exams are:
Wednesday, February 6, 2013, 6:30-7:30 p.m. in EE 129
Tuesday, March 26, 2013, 6:30-7:30 p.m. in LILY 1105.
The Final Exam will be given on Friday, May 3, 2013 10:30-12:30 pm in Phys 112
as common final exam together with the on-campus students attending the live class.
The off-campus distance learning students will take all the exams remotely with a proctor.

10th
edition, Erwin Kreyszig Note that we will
use the 10th edition. If you have any other edition
(including 'International 10th edition') you need to be
sure that the homework problems you do are the ones from
the US 10th edition.
Course grading
will be based on 2 midterms, a final, and regular
homework. Each midterm will be worth 100 points, the final
exam 150 points and the homework 100 points for a total of
450 points. The lowest two homework scores will be
dropped, but in return, late homework will not be
accepted.
Important: In the event of a major campus emergency, course requirements, deadlines, and grading percentages are subject to changes that may be necessitated by a revised semester calendar or other circumstances beyond the instructor's control. Information about such changes will be posted on this web page.
