CSC336S Numerical Methods

The first meeting of CSC336 is Monday, January 9, 2012, 6-9 p.m.. This Monday, there will be a tutorial on MATLAB. We will then do two hours of lecture.
There will be two parallel tutorials, one in BA1200 for students whose last names start with A-K, and another in BA2165 for students whose last names start with L-Z. Lectures will be in BA 1200.
