following the course, show up for the first lecture and decide. Welcome!
The lecture notes and homework texts from -10 are available from that home page. You may assume that changes will be made but not so dramatic that '10
material is misleading.
An examination paper will be given

Also possible to take it Fri 17 Dec 17 --, same place.
Another sitting will be arranged around end of Jan., 2011.

Matlab Programming
The exercises will require Matlab
programming. Students are expected to have procured
familiarity with this environment in previous courses. We will try to
emphasize the importance of writing well structured and efficient
Matlab programs in this course. Here are some notes on that topic:
Here are some reading tips for students who feel less comfortable with
the Matlab environment:
- Chapman, "MATLAB Programming for Engineers", CL-Engineering 2007
- Moler, "Numerical Computing with Matlab", SIAM 2004

Oscars Backe 2, level 2, open Mo-Fr 9.45-11.30, Mo-Thu 12.45-14.15,
Tel: 790 8077.
Examination
To pass the student must
- Pass a written examination. (3 ects)
The exam will consist to 80% of a selection of the distributed examination
questions.
- Solve the homework problems and projects. (4.5 ects).
A written report of good quality must be handed in for each of the
five homework projects on the given deadlines.
You can find a latex file with a skeleton for a
report here.
Students may be asked to give a short oral presentation classroom-style
of (parts of) the solutions.
For homework and projects, students are encouraged to work
in groups of two. Each group needs only to hand in one report, but the
oral accounts are given individually. The grade on the course will be
based on the written examination, the homework and project solutions.
You do not need to register for the exam.
Homework
Downloads:
HW 1, pdf
HW 2, pdf
HW 3, pdf
HW 4, pdf
HW 5, pdf
We will provide timely feedback, usually in the form of comments written
on a paper copy of the report. Grade and overall assessement will be
noted on the cover page. Reports will be handed back on lectures. If you
do not attend lectures, have a friend pick up your report.
You must hand in a report on the deadline. It can be incomplete, and/or
contain (serious) errors, in which case you may be asked to revise it.
The reports are graded F - A. The report for project/HW 1 does NOT
contribute to the final grade, and serves to indicate the relation
between grade and completeness.
How to hand in reports
Reports MUST have a cover page with author names, course code (DN2255) and
homework number, and instructor name (Dag Lindbo). The reports can be handed in
- e-mail to Håkon as ps- or pdf-files
- e-mail to Håkon that a paper version has been deposited in
(a) the Nada/CSC mailbox, bottom floor, Osquars B 2, or
(b) Håkon's mail stop (floor 4, Osquars B.2)
The m-files for your code - HW1 ond HW 2 ONLY! - must be e-mailed to
Håkon on the deadline.
Legibility is paramount, details of formatting less so.
Quite OK to cut & paste
paper plots with hand-written notes. Make sure you
- label axes correctly
- explain what the plots show
- combine plots so that comparisons are easy.
MERE SHEAVES OF MATLAB PLOTS, ONE TO A PAGE, WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
It is valuable to be able to create a mathematical report in LaTeX,
and the exercises in this course are a good opportunity to hone that
skill and get feedback. Take a look at the LaTeX code for
exercise 1
to get started and ideas.
Code Review
(Semi-)Professional Matlab coding is part of the handiwork of the trade.
HW 1 m-files and report, and HW 2 report, will
be subjected to code review and feedback given. Material with
style guidelines and coding suggestions will be handed out on lecture 1.

The schedule is NOT available from KTH home page Time Edit "Schemagenerator".

Registration and "course join" in RES
You must register with your Sektions Kansli to take this course. Please do
so
as soon as possible!. PhD students from other schools,
please contact the course responsible ASAP.
You must also, as soon as you have decided to complete the course,
register for participation in the CSC RES system. Homework,
examination grades, etc., will be recorded and available to students
ONLY in this way, and with some delay, in the web-based system "Mina
Sidor". The dialogue is in Swedish, so you may want to ask a native
Swedish speaker for assistance ... In the CSC unix system, upon login
, do
res checkin ndiff11
and
course join ndiff11
When you have finished the course, exit the registration by
course leave ndiff11
A course evaluation will be conducted via www from this home page, details
to appear here shortly.
