(NOTE: Even though the above are undergraduate texts, they cover all topics in full depth, as many other excellent undergraduate textbooks do; thus they could and should be used for review of fundamental concepts, often better than advanced books that emphasize analytical techniques.

Computer Usage:
Students are required to use FORTRAN, BASIC, or C programs, and/or MathCAD or MATLAB software to solve some homework problems and projects.
Grading:
Homework about 25%; Midterm(s) about 25%; Final about 50%. If any item is not required/graded for the whole class, the other items are prorated proportionally. Final Exam is comprehensive and its passing grade is required to pass the course (see Class/HW/Lab/Exam Policies).
