For your information and to help you prepare for the Final exam, last years CSCC51H exam is posted below. Note that the format will be similar this year but some of the topics covered in CSCC51H were not covered in CSCD37H.
The fourth assignment is now posted. It is due on April 1.
There has been a change in the due date for the third assignment. It is now Due on March 18. The extra week will allow you to spend more time to ensure you understand what is expected and present a more complete solution and discussion.
The term test for this course is now scheduled for Wednesday, February 27 from 3-4pm (in the lecture time slot and location).
The second assignment is now posted. It is due the first day after reading week. Start it now as there is no new information to be introduced in future lectures that is relevant to this assignment.
The first assignment is now posted. It is due on January 28. Start working on it early as it will require some extra time and effort to complete.
Matlab will be used in some of the assignments. A useful reference to obtain a quick working knowledge of MATLAB is the online documentation/examples as well as a brief MATLAB Introduction, and a MATLAB Tutorial . It is probably best to start by reading and doing examples from the Tutorial and the Introduction.

The general information handout for the course includes assigment and test information and the grading scheme.
The academic prerequisites for this course are CSCC37H & MATB24H & MATB41H. The specific background knowledge that is expected (and which would normally be satisfied by completing CSCC37H) is discussed in expected background.
Course notes have been developed for this course (a pdf file). This is the first draft of these notes and reports of errors and typos would be appreciated.

The textbook for the course is: Scientific Computing: an Introductory Survey, 2nd edition
by Michael Heath, McGraw-Hill Inc. 2002.
