Project 2 Supporting code: MyPoissonSolver.m, MyHeatEqSolver.m, MyPLPoissonSolver.m, MyPLHeatEqSolver.m, MyPLWaveEqSolver.m,
Project 3 Navier-Stokes with DOLFIN (optional)

Examination:
Written exam at the end of course, Friday Oct. 25 am (f"ormiddag) in V-building. The exam has 50 points. In addition you can get up to 5+5 points from two projects. Passing with grade 3 requires 25 points (adding points from exam and projects), passing with grade 4 requires 34, and grade 5 requires 43. If you reach the grade 4 this way you can also count points from a third project that you design yourself, and carry out after an ok from the examinator. This project, too, is worth up to 5 points. It is presented both in oral (Thursday Oct 18 in the lecture) and written (deliver with the exam) form. The point from the projects fade away after Oct 26 according to the formula bpoO26 x max(1-t^2,0) where bpoO26 means bonus points of October 26, and t is time in years. In particular, the points are gone after one year.
