• 16 Jan: The bookstore has more copies of the prescribed textbook in stock.
• 15 Jan: the first weekly quiz has been emailed to your McMaster email. If you didn't receive the email it is because you are not on my registration list for the course. Each quiz counts approximately 1% of your grade. You have until 2pm on Friday to complete it (I've extended the time).
• 13 Jan: a short software tutorial on ODEs in MATLAB. This is what you just covered in 3E4 a few weeks ago, and we will use it in tutorials all the time. Ask questions in tutorial to make sure you get it to work and that you understand what the code does.
