- Text:
- There is no textbook. There is a list of some resources at this site, and you can find others using a search engine. If you feel strongly that you need a book, you may buy a copy of any edition of a standard numerical analysis text, just to provide a second view of the material. Note in particular that you should try to locate a source of extra practice problems, inasmuch as the assignments will necessarily be brief.
- Academic Integrity:
- While we encourage collaboration and helpfulness among students, ultimately students must demonstrate that they have learned something by turning in their own work. Assignments or exams that show clear evidence of plagiarism (copying) will receive scores of zero. In extreme cases, we reserve the right to impose a failing grade in the course. This will occur regardless of whether the student in question was the one copying, or the one copied. Protect your work.
- Students with disabilities:
- Reasonable accommodations are available for students with a documented disability. If you have a disability and may need accommodations to fully participate in this class, please visit the Disability Resource Center (DRC). All accommodations MUST be approved through the DRC (Admin Annex Bldg, Room 205). Please stop by or call 509-335-3417 to make an appointment with a disability specialist. If you have questions, please contact Rosie Pavlov at pavlovr@wsu.edu or 335-3417. Additional information is available on the DRC website is www.drc.wsu.edu.
