ENM1500 Introductory Engineering Maths -Assignment 2 Weight: 10%. Due Date: Monday 2 September 2013. Marks: 100 Notes • The due date is the date by which you must submit your assignment to USQ. You must submit a scanned copy of your assignment through EASE by 11:55 pm on the due date to avoid penalty. The due date will be determined according to USQ time, not the timezone from which you may be submitting your assignment. Submit a readable copy of your assignment as a single document in PDF format. • Writing by hand is quickest and best for this course. If you choose to typeset your solutions, take care to get the notation and symbols correct. Note that you do not need to set it out in report format (with aim, method, results, etc.), there is no particular style that we demand. • Show all working and steps in algebra. Always offer clear and logical working that is easy to follow. Give the marker every opportunity to see how you obtained your answer, as we are assessing your reasoning as well as the final result. Where appropriate, check your answer to make sure it is correct. • Graphs should always have a title and axis labels with units if appropriate. Neatly hand drawn figures of a reasonable size are fully acceptable. You may use a graphics calculator or computer, but make sure to interpret the output clearly and write your conclusion. Offer careful scans of any hand-copied plots you submit with your assignment. Do not neglect the scale and labels and check the readability of your scanned work.
