Programming
This course will include a number of programming assignments,
primarily using a package called
HiQ. This package is
available for the MacIntosh from the MicroCenter (about $25).
A beta version of the next release for Windows 95 is available
free of charge
from
National Instruments. For information, click

In addition, we anticipate doing one simple project
in FORTRAN (if this doesn't scare you, nothing will), to demonstrate how to attain high performance
on modern microprocessors. For this we will use the
department's IBM RS6000s. For those who are really
scared of FORTRAN, we will allow you to use C, interfacing with
FORTRAN.
Homework
There will be regular homework. Partial credit will be given
for turning in the homework on time (50%) and partial credit
for one or two randomly selected assigned problems (50%).
