Physics 329: Introduction to Computational Physics: Course News
This document will be updated throughout the course

Please note that there was a typo in Problem 3 of the original handout
for Homework 3. The last sentence
before the "Optional" part of the problem should have read
... (i.e. plot with dots).
rather than
... (i.e. plot with points).
Thanks to Brandon for
pointing this out. The online version has been updated. (Plotting
with points will result in symbols which are too large to reveal the
"fine structure" of the plot.)

Note that you may not be able to send me e-mail
via the course home page (i.e. by clicking on
matt@infeld.ph.utexas.edu),
particularly if you are using Netscape on the PMCL
machines. The reason is that, by default, your return-mail address
in Netscape is set to some generic ID which is not allowed to
send any mail. To fix this, choose Preferences from
the Edit menu, click on Mail & Groups then Identity
and fill in the form, ensuring that you type a correct e-mail address
in the EmailAdress slot. Thanks to
J.R.
for reporting the problem and
David
for providing a quick diagnosis.
