MTH 332/532 Syllabus

 

We will cover essentially a chapter a week, but will give little emphasis to chapters 7 and 8.

The more detailed syllabus below is subject to change, and should not be printed out.

 

 

 

 

 

I had intended to include many hyperlinks here, but I notice that they, and many others, are on the CD that comes with the book. (Check the folder Internet Resources). Some of the references in book are hyperlinked.  It can be difficult to find them. On the CD, use the mathematicaBIG; in  appropriate subsections entitled Library research experience for undergraduates, there will be highlighted hyperlinks to online versions of many of the references. However, you will still have to search. The best is to go to the web-book link above where, in the appropriate sections , you will find direct links to articles.

 

Joukowski airfoils at a (supposedly) elementary school level are demonstrated here:

The paper uses Geometer’s SketchPad. A demo copy can be downloaded here:
