• Midterm Conflicts?

  Due to conflicts with other exams, it has been suggested to move the midterm date to Friday Oct. 17, 7-9pm

  This has been done -- the new date is on the syllabus webpage.

A tentative time for the midterm is Oct. 15, Wed. 7-9pm

The book:

Title: AMPL: A modeling language for mathematical programming.
Call Number: QA402.5 .f688 2003

has been recalled and it will go on (3 hour) reserve for CO 370 once it is arrives.

For the project you will require the full AMPL version that is installed on the student.math UNIX machines. If you are new to UNIX, here are links to a couple of sites that have a basic fact-sheet for UNIX (many more links can be found by typing "Unix primer" or "Unix tutorial" in Google): www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/Reference/unixprimer.html, and http://genetics.med.harvard.edu/~depalma/unixPrimer.html.

Welcome to CO 370/CM 443! Please send emails with concerns and questions to co370@student.math.uwaterloo.ca.
