  • Pavan Dayal's Python Jupyter notebooks are on Moodle. The code posted in the syllabus is from the previous two classes taught by Mark Lavin.
  • This web site is from where you obtain the programming code discussed in class. The links are in the syllabus.
  • I will deliver the lectures live from home using the Zoom client https://ncsu.zoom.us (click Download client at bottom of page) on your device (cell phone, laptop, computer).
  • In addition, I will record the lectures and post links to the recordings on Moodle. Once you are logged in https://wolfware.ncsu.edu to see your courses, click on the orange "m" to go to the Moodle boiler plate. (Clicking on the title takes you to this page).
  • Individually, you can email me. You will submit your programming projects by email.
  • The lectures will start on January 19, 4:30pm. I will email a Zoom ID to you at the beginning of the lecture, so that you can join the live meeting via this ID. I will also post the ID in the Moodle Lecture 1 title. The website https://ncsu.zoom.us/j/<ID> where <ID> is the ID may work.
  • My virtual office hours, to be held via Zoom, are listed on my schedule.
  • There are no examinations, and the programming projects are the sole parameter used to determine the course grade. Two fully functional programs will get you an A, three an A+.
  • In Spring 2020, Spring 2018, Spring 2011, Spring 2008, Fall 2004, Fall 2003, Fall 2002, Fall 2000, Fall 1999 and Fall 1998 a similar course was given.
    NOTE: in 2011 coverage was switched from Java to Python, which is used extensively in the SAGE computer algebra platform.
