Topics and readings
This section will be updated weekly to list the topics for the week and suggested readings on those topics. Choose from the suggested readings according to your need and taste.
Project
Students will work in small groups or individually to do a larger computational project in the second half of the class. There will be a project presentation during finals week. Project groups also will write a report of their project. The project will be a significant part of the grade along with the assignments.
Academic integrity and etiquete
- Please feel free to ask questions and make relevant comments during class. If something is unclear to you, it probably is unclear to many other students.
- Please do not use laptops or other devices during class except to take notes (this is rare) or for an emergency (more rare).
- Please review the
NYU academic integrity policy.
This policy tells faculty to clarify collaboration rules for each class.
For this class:
- Students may use any materials and consult with each other or work together to understand the material and figure out how to do the exercises.
- Students must prepare homework solutions individually and independently. Students may not copy solutions from other students or from any other source, including internet sources or other textbooks.
- Students may not allow their work to be copied by other students.
- Faculty have a responsibility to create an environment that does not
encourage cheating.
- I will ensure that the work load is managable by an individual student working independently.
- I will work with the grader and TA to identify cheating.
- I will listen to anyone's thoughts or complaints on this issue. Please let me know if the work load is unmanageable or if you suspect others of cheating.
