Projects ● Deadline: Friday 8 March ● To be completed in pairs – You can choose your partner. ● Each pair must choose one project to complete. ● I will be sending you a questionnaire during reading week asking: 1) who you are working with 2) which project you are doing. ● Instructions for how to hand in will be added to Moodle during reading week.
Ofce hours Until the project deadline, I will continue holding ofice hours in the 5 th floor common room – Mondays 2-3 – Thursdays 2-3 In deadline week, there will be more ofice hours. I’ll send info in a Moodle message nearer the time.
Project 1: Newton’s Method
Project 2: Bitcoin
Project 3: Goldbach’s conjecture Every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes.
Project 4: A pair of ODEs
Project 5: The Mandelbrot set
Feedback Later this week, you will be sent a feedback questionnaire. Please write comments. Specific things I would like feedback on: ● What did you think of the mix of lectures and computer classes? ● What did you think of the notes & exercises sheets? Was there enough explanation? Was there enough practice? ● Has this course encouraged you to do more programming / take more courses including programming?
