Class Lectures and Reading Assignments for CS 20600

This page documents what we do in class. It contains Maple worksheets that we will discuss in class, simple homework exercises that you can work on for practice and exam preparation (not for credit), and reading assignments from our textbook.

The reading assignments and practice problems are listed by the date on which they were assigned. The sample worksheets are listed by the date on which they were used. You can click on a .mws link and download a Maple worksheet or click on a .pdf link (when available) and view a worksheet with your browser. It is a good idea for you to "play" with the example worksheets; download them, execute the Maple commands in the worksheets, make simple changes to those commands, and then execute them again.
